SPOILER!!: Professor Hadley

Grabbing a telescope and a towel, Kurumi returned to her desk and applied a healthy amount to her towel. Holding the telescope as gently as she could, she ran the towel all around it, being very careful not to drop it. Was it just her, or were they all doing an awful lot of maintenance this term? Kurumi didn't mind it so much, but it was taking precious time away from actual learning. Wouldn't this cleaning time be better spent memorizing star names or something?

Having applied a thin layer, Kurumi set it down and waited for the layer to dry. When it did, she picked it back up again and repeated the process making tiny clockwise circles. Having covered the telescope with the solution, she reached for a dry towel and began to dry it off.

Of all people why was she complaining?! Strange. Shaking her head at the girl, she smiled at the class as she proceeded to explain the cleaning process. "It's not a terribly long process but it is very important because of how delicate and expensive the parts of a telescope are... As a fragile piece of equipment, using a simple charm would not do justice to cleaning a telescope." Hadley explained. *"Just think of it like a broom... You wouldn't use tergeo* or something on your broomstick, would you? Same thing with a telescope." 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* 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. ooc: I'm not sure how available I'll be today, Sunday, so I'm posting all the cleaning instructions now. Feel free to make separate posts for each step ... or include two steps in one post ... *For full credit, at least five posts though are required =)*. Have fun with this!!!
