Is there a way to fix this stippling

[welkin]

Was stupid and carried my rifle around with the scope cover off while hunting. Now the eye piece is covered in these little dots. I think it's dust. Tried brushing them off and cleaning with an alcohol lens wipe, probably a dumb move. Didn't seem to remove any of it. It's a Maven RS.1 - 2.5-15x44 FFP if that makes any difference.

Can you feel these with your finger?

Is the scope new? Looks like you have dust particles in side.

No, it's not brand new. bought it used and it didn't have this when I got it

Did you spray brake cleaner or parts cleaner around the scope while cleaning the rifle?

Nope,I'm guessing those would destroy the coating but not sure

Does it affect shooting at all?

If it's dust on the inside, I've been able to get dust off the glass by using a hair dryer to heat the glass and then banging the scope on a soft mat. This makes the dust fall down off the glass.

Try running some warm tap water over it (water to carry away the small particles).

If it is dust inside, definitely send it back. It was either a bad assembly or it lost its nitrogen purge, You could try and see if it will fog up by getting it cold then applying heat with a blow dryer to test.

No

Ok, try the hair dryer idea that @mxgsfmdpx mentions if it is internal dust contact Maven.
