[ATMoB-discuss] Eyepiece repair

Hi everyone. While at last night's star party in Roxbury I noticed one 
of my eyepieces, a 10mm Plossl, had suddenly started delivering a 
pretty bad image. Figuring it was just dew, I stuffed it back into my 
box. This morning I discovered quite a bit of foreign material stuck to 
the lens. I suspect it came into contact with one of the lollipops 
which were handed out at the event.

Now it seems to me this eyepiece will require a little bit more 
attention than "use lifting strokes with a camel hair brush," which I'm 
reading everywhere online. Can anyone help me with this? Failing that, 
has anybody upgraded their collection recently and have a few Plossls I 
could buy for a few bucks? I've been meaning expand mine anyway...

Thanks,
Ross
