[Stephen Strangways]

For the RED, you want the original Eclipse, NOT Eclipse E2.

Very good OLPF cleaning method.

Very short summary of method:
- Clean sensor in a clean room
- Clean sensor with rocket blower first removing lose particle.
- Clean using Eclipse (Methanol) on pec-pad wrapped on a sensorswipe.
- Put 2-3 drops on pec-pad (not on OLPF)
- Wipe sensor with "penforce" ONCE in a: left upper corner -> right upper corner -> move pad down to right lover corner -> lefter lover corner motion

If all specs are not removed. Ignor and try next week again.

Do not use:
- Alcohol (can dissolve ahesive arround OLPF and smear)
- Lens fluids, lens tissue, they can leave recidue
- Adhesives methods (tejp)
- Artists painting brushes
