how do I clean my D200's sensor

[Agrom]

D200 users with dust spots what method do you use to clean the sensor.
This is the first time I have cleaned it.

First line of defence : Blow
Use a giant rubber blower (no canned compress air despite whatever claims they make).

1) Insert newly charged batteries if possible, set to manual mode & turn to bulb.
2) Remove your lens, press your shutter until you finish the job (use remote trigger if you need both hands)
3) pump your blower a few times.
4) Check for dust, repeat if necessary.

thanks for the tip but I tried a blower brush and it made it worse

Hi Glen, you might try the blower alone (without brush), should work better.
If it doesn't, try "dry" cleaning with special fine sensor cleaning brushes, if fail again, only "wet" cleaning helps. "Eclipse" + Sensor Swabs.

Thank Igor I'll have to get some of those sensor swabs.Is Eclipse a cleaning fluid for ccd's?.
I only ever use the blower without the brush and it looked worse after I did it.
I am taking it to a camera technician friend tomorrow who will clean it until I buy some cleaning products.Can you please give me a link to where to buy those products on the net.
Thanks again.

Glen, I bought my sensor cleaning stuff on ebay, please search ebay with something like "sensor cleaning" and you'll get a lot of items to choose from.
Yes, Eclipse is a kind of Methanol fluid for cleaning sensors.
