I bought a bottle of Eclipse fluid, used it once and the rest evaporated despite the tightly sealed bottle. Obviously it wasn't tight enough. Now I use 91% Isopropal Alcohol. I bought at the drug store. No problems so far. Pops

Thanks for the comments - yes it was sensor dust - I didn't notice it until after I uploaded it - I did buy a Copperhill sensor cleaning kit earlier in the year, but as yet haven't got around to getting some Eclipse fluid (methanol) to go with it. Neil

Teapot is correct - At that f-stop you're going to see sensor dust for sure - try it yourself - thank goodness for the clone tool! If interested in testing, read more:http://www.bobatkins.com/photography/tutorials/sensorclean.html Great shot neil - you can almost feel this guy snort! - Kelly

Neil, Great shot. I love the distinct window reflection in the eyes.

How do you know that Teapot?

Unusual composition but I like it. Got the eye perfectly sharp. The spot in the top left is dust on the sensor. Teapot.

Very nice Neil. :) Now, could you please clean your lens? ;) LOL! Upper left corner. Is it lens or sensor? While your at it, maybe also just slightly higher than that, 1/4 of the way from the right edge, there looks to be a lesser spot as well. And then when you're done, please come clean mine! LOL! ~ Lonnit
