OK..I'll steer clear of that. 'Twas just a thought.

In another thread, which has managed to go way off topic, there was mention of cleaning my sensor, and a throw-away remark about a blower..."Does it suck".
Well, that got me thinking. I've seen some USB powered mini vacuums for computer keyboards, etc. Could one of these be used to clean a sensor, or is that not recommended

Nice shot of an unusual site.... at least on this side of the River Mersey it is
Archery seems to be a big thing on the Wirral, I've noticed quite a few people in fields with their bows and arrows as I've been driving through.

It is quite big on the Wirral. We have seven clubs in our area. Quite a lot for a minority sport.Nice shot of an unusual site.... at least on this side of the River Mersey it is

I would use a wet cleaning system only as a last resort since it took me absolutely ages to clear the smears from a *istD sensor after wet cleaning it.
Thanks for the advice. Looks like I'll have to get a better blower.I would use a wet cleaning system only as a last resort since it took me absolutely ages to clear the smears from a *istD sensor after wet cleaning it.

Oh! I remember that!
Apparently they had a draw weight of about 140lb
The bow in that picture isn't mine, but I believe it has a draw weight of about 60lb and that is quite heavy these days.
I shoot a recurve bow with a 38lb draw weight, I can't imagine pulling 140lb

DIRTY SENSOR ALERT . . .
I was thinking that, but thought I'd cloned all the spots out. Which did I miss??DIRTY SENSOR ALERT . . .
What's the best way to clean the sensor, I only have a cheap blower at the moment. Just; mirror up and blow away?

Err! thats not a PROPER Longbow not unless it can fire a three foot arrow with enough force to penetrate chain mail and even thin plate armour
Being pedantic are we? We'll, I'll have you know, a bow does not fire an arrow, it shoots it
But nice shot regardless Ted, I like the low viewpoint and I like the way the bow frames that target stand on the left.
