Don't throw it away. At this point, giving it some time is probably a good
idea.

Hi,

After some use my eyepieces needed cleaning - especially
a 10mm Plossl which was _really_ dirty and was even showing
halo around Mars. So, I decided to clean the eyepieces,
read how to do it, got cleaning fluid from Orion, set a
clean table and prepared a box of Q-tips.

The result: one clean barlow, and two of three clean eyepieces.
The third eyepiece - the same 10mm Plossl, - got a bad case
of fogging between elements. Too much cleaning fluid,
I guess... :-( And, no, I didn't drop cleaning fluid on
the eyepiece itself.

Do you think I can do something? I would like to believe if
I leave it alone for a day or two the internal fog will
evaporate, eventually. Or I should just throw it in the bin?

:-(

Any ideas?
