Update on the sensor cleaning - 99% successful thankfully - there is one small blob left which is pretty easy to remove in Photoshop, but at some point I will probably do another cleaning run with the swabs and isopropyl alcohol and get rid of that too.

No issues at all with the wifi BTW so that problem seems to be sorted thank goodness. I got ambitious and set the scope to shoot another target after the Eastern Veil but my Ecoflow power bank ran flat after 20 mins and shut everything down… ![]()
