Checking the Gate

I'd skip the the sensor brush step as you
don't want to get the grease back onto your brush.

I'm really confused by what this sentence is supposed to mean.

Are you saying not to buy their "sensor swab" product?

Their website seems to say the swabs and eclipse go together.

"ECLIPSE lens cleaner is the highest purity lens cleaner available, containing less than 5 parts per million (ppm) of contamination (the whitish residue left after evaporation) It dries as quickly as it can be applied leaving absolutely no residue, making it the only recommended cleaner for CCD and CMOS sensor cleaning when used with Sensor Swabs."

Sorry about the lack of clarity...

By sensor brush I meant the type of brush that's like a painters brush
and not the sensor swabs that Photosol sells. Yes, you should use the
photosol sensor swabs with eclipse solution.

Thanks Deanan.

Michael Reichmann has some great reviews on his site for products to clean sensors with (not to mention a ton of other great info):

I use a sensor loupe to view the OLPF with, but as previously mentioned you could stop down to T22 and point the lens at a white surface to see where the dust is.
