Better CCD sensor cleaning

I was not really happy after I cleaned the CCD of my astrocam with alcohol. There remained some kind of haze on the sensor. Therefore I got real swabs and cleaning fluid, specially for CCDs. That got rid of the annoying haze. Below are 2 flats. One before and one after the cleaning. The haze of visible in the bottom of the picture.

He Patrick,

CCD reinigen doe je met de juiste spullen.
En droog, tenzij er vet op zit.
Ik gebruik de "Artic butterfly" verkrijgbaar bij o.a. foto Konijnenberg.
En om het goed te zien de "VisualDust" Sensor Loupe. Ook verkrijgbaar bij o.a. foto Konijnenberg.
Hiermee zie ieder vuilte goed itten en weet je zeker dat je sensor goed schoon kunt maken.
Groeten; Bert

Great post, I admire the writing style :) A little off topic here but what theme are you using? Looks pretty cool.
