Yep!!I've just used the end of my t-shirt before now
however.. Eclipse (Photosol) sensor swabs.
People get far too anal about this. With gel pads and black light dust detection.. bloody hell...
Rocket blower... sensor pad... done. It's not a critical piece of electronics being installed in a military satellite... it's just a camera.
My only caveat is use the proper sensor cleaning setting on the camera.... not just holding the shutter open with "B".
Make sure your battery is fully charged (Many cameras will not let you clean until it is).

Certainly not the end of a t-shirt and I recommendWhat exactly do you mean by "use the proper sensor cleaning kit"?
Thanks, couple of more questions:
1. What exactly do you mean by "use the proper sensor cleaning kit"? The sensor cleaning function on these camera's works at is shut down, am I missing something else?
2. I deliberately did not mention this before so as not to complicate things but, the 550D has been modified by the removal of its IR filter for astrophotography - does this have any bearing on some of the recommendations above?
Best thing I've ever found for sensor cleaning.
