Last weekes more and more dust particles are gathering on the CCD sensor of the Artemis. I cannot calibrate them out using flat-fields, so it is time for a cleaning action.
First I have to figure out how to take the Artemis apart. After 1 hour of careful work I am looking freely at the sensor. This picture shows the backside.
After cleaning the sensor with swabs and alcohol I built the camera together. Here I am shooting flat-fiels on my EL panel to verify if the action was helpful....
It was, here is the new one, most dust particles are gone now.

Hi Patrick,
Although this is an old post, I hope you can help me.
I have to clean my Artemis' 4021 sensor. I've been able to disassembly the aluminium backside and get the lower second electronic board; however, I can't figure out how to get to the ccd.
It seems that it is by unthreading the camera front nose, I tried by hand but I didn't dare to force it by hard mechanical ways.
Please, would you kind enough to guide me?
Thank you in advance and all my best,
Javier
