No snickering please! I purchased a Nikon D7500 last April. The wife and I traveled to Canada to see some friends and we toured the western region. Took loads of photos. As I was tossing ones I did not like and fixing some, I saw to my horror what appeared to be the planet Saturn and it's ring in the upper left portion of photos with clear blue skies. I determined it to be a piece of dust hanging on to my sensor for dear life.

Having never wet cleaned a sensor, and being a bit on the over aggressive side of the coin, I studied the literature and decided to give it a go. I was scared beyond belief. Well, I am proud to say I can now clean my sensor without total destruction of the device and now consider myself a little further up the ladder of being a photographer. :bowing:

Just to be sure, I have taken photos every hour or so and examined them to make sure I got the pesky little item. I know, a little OCD!

Nikon wanted $60 plus shipping there and back and insurance fees, not to mention turn around time of weeks.

Thanks to all the tips and help from Photographic Solutions.
