My Sensor is CLEAN!

So for the past three or four days I have been flipping out! I haven't wanted to use my camera because I had a huge spot on my sensor that was showing up in pictures. I was so upset about it I really didn't know what to do with myself because I didn't have enough time to send my camera in to be cleaned by Canon.
So after much searching I found a website that had a kit for cleaning sensor's at home. I really didn't have too much of a choice so I gave Copper Hill Images a call and they were very helpful and got me my Sensor swabs in record time! Not only that but they have great tutorial on their site with do's and dont's, as well as step by step instructions on cleaning your sensor. Here's a picture of what my sensor looked like before. I would have put up an after but it was dark, so I'll try to take one tomorrow and post it! The red arrows point to the bigger of LOTS of specs on the sensor. Just for those that don't know, a sensor on a digital camera is like film in a camera, it's what produces your images.
