Maintenance

toby

Hi folks - I have a 6200mm and filter wheel that have been in a remote observatory in the middle of the New Mexico desert for the last year. Everything is working great, but I'll be heading there next week to perform some regular maintenance and cleaning on the mount and telescope and I'm wondering if there is anything I can/should do to the camera and/or filter wheel? The camera is used almost every night and it is located in a relatively dusty environment. Since it's a mostly dry environment, I'm guessing the desiccants are good? Do the fans need cleaned or anything?

Thanks for the advice.

Bulb blower into heat sink fins and if the sensor glass is dusty use a bulb blower then maybe a fullframe sensor cleaning swab… used to clean camera sensors.
