My zwo 290 had a couple of annoying dust bunnies. I cleaned the glass covering the sensor but the dust persisted. So it must have been the sensor. Ken suggested the isopropyl alcohol 99.8% . Yesterday ,I got some from Jaycar . Cleaned the sensor today and tested it tonight zwo 290 ,ngc 1365, 10sec x 18 before after small outline of the bunny remains, but pretty happy with the result cheers Paul

Know how excited you must be getting it cleaned,,, my zwo asi178 was binned after I found massive dust bunnies,, was totally sickened every time I seen them,, £300 odd camera and not getting used was soul destroying,, When I finally had the balls to strip it and it was back to pristine,, I would have done somersaults,, well belly flops would be more thing,, but like getting a new camera again

I tried Chemist Warehouse last Tuesday when Bunnings was shut due to lockdown . It was advertised on the website. "We dont sell alcohol here" screamed the pharmacist. I told him I didnt want to drink it and promptly left. cheers Paul

I went into a Pharmacy in Ballarat and asked for Isopropyl Alcohol and the Chemist asked what it was for. I told him it was to clean Telescope lenses and camera sensors. He said that he could "dip a cotton bud (American: Q-tip) into some for me and put it into a plastic bag if that would help". I said 'no thanks'. Then I discovered it in huge bottles at Bunnings Bunnings is Australia's largest Hardware DIY chain - (America: Home Depot) (UK: B&Q)
