Due to the grease smear on the sensor of my 2600MC , I decided to check the Cloudy Nights forum and found quite a few posts ( dating back to November 2020 ) regarding this issue with the 2600MC. Most of them experienced the oil smear after 6 months of use , mine was 9 months of use.
One post had an excerpt from the ZWO forum earlier this year saying “ We already have improved our production.We will clean the oil on the thermal pad before use it so it won’t happen again”
So the bottom line is this has been a problem with this camera since mid 2020 onwards and the fault doesn’t occur until 6 to 9 months down the track in most cases.
I am confident though that due to the nature of this problem and ZWO’s acknowledgment and commitment to improve , any new purchases from March 2021 onwards hopefully will be ok
