Hey everybody,
I'm just going through all my camera gear and getting it ready for this weekends airshow at Rhode Island. I noticed in my photos that my d300 has a piece of dust on the sensor. I tried to clean it with the camera's built in cleaner but that didn't work. So I tried blowing it for with a rocket blower; the dust didn't budge. So anyone have any ideas on how to get rid of it?

I've taken no abrasive swabs and have gone over the sensor to loosen any stubborn dust. Then I've used the blower again, works like a charm.

I use Dust Aid. Works like a charm.

Good luck at Quonset - I tried to fly back for this show it looks to be that good...

Are you ever worried that peieces of the cotton are left behind?

Nope, that's why you blow it out afterward.
