I just received 2 tubes of the Super Lube. After thoroughly
investigating their website, I am convinced that this is a state of
the art synthetic PTFE lubricant suitable for telescopes or just
about anything else one might imagine.

I called the company at 1.800.253.LUBE and spoke with a chemical
engineer, expressing my concerns and application. He reiterated that
the grease has no appreciable outgassing (conventional greases with
outgassing evaportate at a rate 750% greater) and will not fog or
damage optics. In fact, one of the largest and biggest names in
optics regularly uses it in their products (I know the name but will
leave you guessing).

Therefore, I have no reservation in going ahead and regreasing the
thimble on my C14 with it.

Hi Wayne, If this is indeed the same lubricant we are both speaking of, then I will say yes, the specs did seem apropriate for the application.

I'm sure Celestron will neither mention, not recommend a lubricant. Rather probably tell you something goofy like "Oh, ship us the scope, and we'll take care of it", or"Yes, we use a very special lube, and anything you may find will not be up to our high specs, and you may damage your scope".

I's sure one of the most important criteria will be the amount of lube used. Too much, or too little will no doubt create their own problems.

Please keep us posted Wayne with your findings, and results, and how it all went with the rebuild. I'm particularly interested in the C-14's innards, and any mods/improvements that can enhance this scope.
