PSA: Check your camera's sensor for dust before you head out for the Perseids next month.

I drove three hours to a dark sky site in Flagstaff last week, took what I thought were great shots of the Milky Way, and only saw a dozen tiny gray spots on every single frame when I got home.

My buddy did that with his new Sony A7IV last fall and ended up with a whole fake constellation in his shots. He had to use the healing brush for like two hours in Lightroom. A rocket blower is cheap but forgetting it costs you a whole night of editing.

That's just how it goes with cheap fixes, they always cost more later.
