Could not find Eclipse in Hawaii and no one will ship it here. Talked to my folks in our Graphics department and they said they are always cleaning their sensors on their D30 and other DSLRs and that they just use Kodak lens cleaner solution. So, I got brave, and tried it on my 10D. 99.9% successful after about 4-5 swabbings. I used two drops at first, and it left too much residue on the sensor. When it evaporated the first time, it left one little "water spot" for lack of a better term. Used less fluid after that and it worked fine. I think the biggest difference is that it evaporates slightly slower than Eclipse which I believe is probably pure methanol. Was thinking of trying Ethyl alcohol (Rubbing Alcohol, 70% solution), but opted for the advice of our Graphics department pros. Glad I got the nerve to do it--really helped clean up over a year's worth of dust bunnies.
