Got my new blower plus a wet/dry pack today from Quality Camera's

New blower removed nothing, dust bunnies were well fixed.
Sensor sweep also removed nothing that was noticable to the naked eye.
Wet clean took me roughly 8 swipes to get clean.

Before:


After:


At a glance though my first few test shots (not the sky ones obviously) Feel a fracion softer and a maybe have a tad more noise? I don't know if I am being paranoid and if my results are valid as the light is a little softer right now compared to the original images I checked them against.
I'll have another test run tommorrow.

Thanks again to all those that helped me with the location of Quality Camera's and for all the advice I read on the site

Great example. You certainly had quite a few dust bunnies to start with

The second one is perfect. Those little dust bunnies spread themselves so evenly around a ccd...where are they now i wonder? When you capture them the rule is that you have to put them in a small container and release into the wild.

Newidude,
Great works and you've done well!

Next time, when I meet you in NC and you will run the demonstration of how and what?

[Potatis]

Good job. I can't believe how dirty it was. How did it get so dirty?

[rookie2]

well done

How did it get so dirty?

I believe it was either some dust inside my blower (although I did give it around 10 squeze's before I attacted the sensor, thats why i got a new blower) or there was a bunch of dust sitting inside the lense mount and I managed to paint in on the sensor with the first few squirts.

Newidude/Brad - another excellent outcome. Good to see that 'Quality Camera Sales Australia' came through again.

Is your new blower, one of these or something else:

If not, and you want one, normally available from Birddog114.

I thought the bunnies must have got there all at one time. I thought surely it couldn't have gradually got to that stage. The bunnies would have driven you crazy since a long time ago and something would have been done sooner. I thought you must have changed lenses on a very windy day.
