Funky Flat

Bit of a surprise to see this.

It has been very humid so at first I looked a the primary.
All fine there.

Pulled off the camera and a condensation droplet was on the sensor, behind the protective glass.

It was a pain to remove.
Replaced the condensation tablet.

Anyone else had this happen?

Note: The jpeg reduction shows only a fraction of how bad it was...

I've had condensation across an image, I haven't got any to show. It was sort of diagonal, as far as I could work out I cooled too quick.

Oof, that looks awful. Glad you sorted it out.
