ASI071 Manual

The big dim spot on the image (at right) are the shadows of dust on the protect window.

The very small but very dark spot in the image (at left) are the shadows of the dusts on the

The suggested way to clean them is try to blow them away with a manual air pump. To clean

the dust on the sensor you will need to open the camera chamber.

We have a very detailed instruction on our website:
