Please avoid use of compressed air cans unless you know what you're doing.

Hold them wrong and you get a jet that will freeze things, not to mention the impurities in them which can sand-blast the area.

If you know what you're doing, feel free, but a giant hand-held blower is cheaper, and will last longer, and will do no damage to the equipment.

If you can, hold the CCD above your head (or at least vertical), so that when you dislodge it with the blower, use gravity to assist in it falling clear of any other internals.
