Right in the middle of Sydney lockdown, too. Drat.

I bought mine from Testar, so will drop Adriano a note tonight to see what he can do. I'd rather not clean this if there's a better solution.
Adam,
Sorry to hear but the good news is it can be cleaned and no further problems. I’ve been using mine post rectified for about 6 weeks and running perfect
I sent mine back to Bintel and John or Don cleaned it up so my turn around was only a week
Don’t know if Testar have the expertise or are authorised by ZWO to do it , if not , then it’s back to China and 6 week turn around
After I received mine back , it did have 2 tiny dust spots in the right hand corner so I bought a packet of full frame DSLR swabs from the Camera Warehouse and cleaned the sensor and protective window.All clean not one spec anywhere now , they do a great job as recommended by Glen
Hope yours gets rectified ASAP
Martin
