could protect the sensor from dust and humidity. And the inside of the
image sensor is dry and sealed. If you should clean the sensor, it is best
to do it during the daytime. To see the dust, please connect the camera
to your telescope. Point the telescope to a bright place, a Barlow lens is
required to see the dusts clear. Then attach the camera and adjust the
exposure to make sure not over exposed. You will see an image like below
if it is dirty.
1) The small but dark black spot on
the image (left) are the shadows
of dust on the sensor.
2) The big spot on the image (right)
are the shadows of dust on the
protection window.
The Suggested way to clean them is
try to blow them away with a manual
