I was recently playing around with putting my camera on my telescope. I've got the adaptor, but it's a pain in the ass to get it to go on the camera and as a result the camera's open for ages and the thing requires lots of movement around the open end, too.

In the end, it looks like I've got a whole load of dust on from that little episode. This is a really new camera, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't on before.

Picture is of an overcast sky at f/36, and all the little blotches are dust (they show up with another lens and another subject).

I've read the cleaning thread that's on here, but I lack an air bulb or anything similar, so my question really is should I be worried about getting it cleaned at this point?
The most noticable piece of dust is on the lower right corner, it's a great big chunk D:

Besides that, though, there are a fair few smaller bits all over the damn image.

Hell, you can even see the dust in the thumbnail. Ouch.
