After cleaning the sensor (actually, as far as I know ;) the filter on top), I got this image from auto levels:

Is it that bad ? Btw, it seems that I did remove the big ones as these hardly show up in pictures.
My question is, how do I get rid of those tracks on the edges (I guess they left because the space is so tight and there is no room to properly clean the edge using a wide swab) and the stubborn dust left? Any suggestions appreciated.

p.s.: the camera it's a Minolta Maxxum 7D

If you search the forums you'll see that I am an expert in cleaning with the Copperhill method ! I only permantly scratched my sensor twice !!! Really though...I did scratch it b/c I was not careful.

From your shot, it looks as though there are still specks there.

Your edges look strange. Do these "edges" only show up at high appeture? Say above f18 or do they show up no matter what? They don't look like my scratches...however, they don't look like "dust pushed to the side" either. They are too perfect IMO.

Try to take a few shots at a blue sky at above f18 and post them here.

I'm sure others will have an opinion soon.
