Cleaning telescopes questions? - 10 inch reflector telescope
Hello, I am looking for good advice, what to clean telescope mirrors and lenses. I'm so Dobsonian10 inch reflecting telescope and a Meade ETX-80 and I'm looking for advice on how I could go clean to clean my mirror in front of my mirror and Dob10 my lens for my Meade ETX-80. I spoke with someone who has a 10-inch Dobsonian and said that it is better to use something as a joke "wow" to clean the mirror. I ask because I do not scratch or damage the lens or a mirror of the two new telescopes. He said that to avoid the paper towels.
Is there a special team had to clear my reach areas? or just things that are good for cleaning my computer?
What would be best for my glasses, contact lenses and what is best for my mirror reflectors? and how do I clean my Dob10 as basically a huge pipe with a large mirror in the background?

What Nyx said. But I would add that recently bought covered Dobson, and really, when you leave the caps, if they could not be likely to use clean for several years without the mirror (s spending). A little dust is not very harmful to the display.
