Good video. Quick adder: make sure the gloves you use are powder free. The nitrile type are sometimes available as "powdered" and nitrile is my preferred material.

Whenever you're not actively working on a piece of the imaging train, just put it inside a plastic Ziploc bag. This pretty much eliminates dust settling on anything. The plain ol' Ziploc bag is better than any dust cap or cover.
When you use the blower, hold the equipment upside down, away from your table, and blow the air *up* into it. You want the dislodged dust to fall down, out of the equipment, and not allow it to settle on anything below. If you blow sideways or down, you might just scatter the dust elsewhere inside the equipment.

The weather in the South West has been crap as well. Geo engineering according to my Allsky camera is being sprayed above the normal cloud layer and it leaves a Tupperware lid layer for later on.

Hopefully things will improve soon and we can all get back to imaging again! Thanks for your comment & clear skies!
