Hi guys. I wish I knew what this was. It looks like a cross between a Cud and a lamination. I'm really not sure..

Looks like sticky gunk. Try soaking it in pure acetone to see if it comes off.

In the future, please do not post photos of scope screens. Use the memory card or a USB cable to transfer images.
