Right. She was rambling. "Now, onto the cleaning process..." For this, Hadley used her wand to make the cleaning supplies materialize by them. As well as a large paper with cleaning instructions for them to follow.

SPOILER!!: cleaning instructions

K-Lee started on cleaning her telescope reluctantly. Looking at the cleaning solution she applied it with the cotton towel gently. Leaving it to dry for a minute, K-Lee looked around, seeing all the others also cleaning.

She looked back down at her telescope. What a lousy class. After the full minute had passed, K-Lee picked it up and went on with step 2. She applied another coat and started rubbing it in a clockwise circular motion until she had done it all.

She understood the telescopes were dirty and all, but seriously, why did they have to do it?

For this, Hadley used her wand to make the cleaning supplies materialize by them. As well as a large paper with cleaning instructions for them to follow. SPOILER!!*: cleaning instructions* 1. Use the cleaning solution provided and apply with a soft cotton towel a light layer. 2. Allow to air dry for a minute, before applying another coat of cleaning solution and rubbing it onto the looking glass and all over the telescope. Keep the rubbing to clockwise circular motions and continue until you've done all over the scope. 3. Take a fresh towel and rub in the same direction to towel dry the scope. 4. Repeat steps 1-3 as necessary until dust and debris is gone 5. Once the scope is clean, spray a thin layer of holding cream over the scope to help prevent future dust outbreaks. 6. Allow the solution to dry fully before operating the telescope. This may take up to 24 hours. K-Lee started on cleaning her telescope reluctantly.
