The large front lens has little dots on the inside between the 2 mirrors. How would someone clean these lenses. Not sure what the dots are, kinda look like water spots but scope has never been wet.
Thanks Russ

To clean the inside lenses of the ORION TELESCOPES & BINOCULARS Explorer 90mm AZ 9029, use lens cleaning fluid applied to a tissue (never directly on the optics). Wipe gently in a circular motion and remove excess fluid with a fresh lens tissue. Use caution to avoid scratching the lens. Clean only a small area at a time and use a new tissue for each section. Never reuse tissues.
