I successfully removed the grease from the Thermal Pad that climbed onto the edge of my ASI1600MM Pro's sensor. I used Visible Dusts' swabs and cleaning compound. My sensor loupe showed no foreign substances on the sensor. However, no matter ho hard I tried, or method used, I could see tiny particles of something on the AR glass. Is the AR really glass or some sort of clear plastic? A bulb blower, microfiber cloth and a sensor swab with cleaner could not get rid of the "fluff".
I apologize for being a pest!
