Re: CCD cleaning

[Mark Cassino]

I still use the ear syringe - I bought a more high powered blower (a 
"Hurricane" IIRC) and found that it seems to blow more dust onto the sensor 
than off.  the lower power ear syringe works well - though after a few 
careless mistakes on my part I got the eclipse system which I'v only had to 
use three or four times. Usually, the blower will do it.

I use a sterile ear syringe, which can be purchased at a drug store. A 
couple blasts of air from the syringe bulb, and you're done. Mark Cassino 
suggested this method. It's very safe and quite effective. Keep the syringe 
in its box or a sealed plastic bag when not in use.

Can Sensor brush remove dust that is stuck hard to the sensor or you 
would have
to go back to using eclipse for that ?
I don't care so much about the price if it works good and it is reusable 
for
multiple cleanings.

Are these two product the best for this ?
