Glad that worked out well!

To keep your sensor clean, you need a Rocket Blower, some Pec-Pads and some pure methanol (otherwise known as Eclipse fluid).

Mostly, the blower will keep the sensor crap-free, wet cleans should only be needed very occasionally. I'm not sure where to get all the above at the moment, but hang around for a while and you'll find out! :lol: :lol: :shock:

Have fun at the Zoo!

First try the Rocket Blower, if it fails, then use the wet method.


More detailed info and illustration/samples HERE


I made my own swab and then use a pec*pad + eclipse (methanol), works great for me.
