How many times has dust or lint on your eyepiece or telescope ruined an observing session? An innocuous-looking strand of hair scattered across the lens in your photos or astroimages can take hours of cleaning in an image-editing program, and a greasy thumbprint or smudge on the optics can cause an otherwise perfect image to go in the trash.
That's where the Celestron LensPen comes in, a dual-purpose optical cleaning tool that's small and light enough to keep in your telescope accessory bag or camera bag so it's always at hand when you need it. The LensPen is two cleaning tools in one. One end contains a soft brush to remove dust and other particles from any optical surface. The other end of the LensPen takes care of smudges and stains that can't be wiped away. This device has a special cleaning tip that works without liquids and therefore never dries out. A cap protects the stain removal tool when not in use, while the brush sinks securely into the LensPen. When cleaning optics, it is always best to use the brush first, even if you think it is unnecessary. Brush the entire surface carefully and then check your work. If you discover streaks or smudges, remove them with the cleaning element by lightly touching it. The Celestron LensPen is a great tool for all your optical equipment, including eyepieces, telescopes, spotting scopes, binoculars, microscopes, cameras, lenses and more.
