David:
This seems like a cool product. Thanks for posting it to this thread.
Here is a question. I have heard many people say things like NEVER use an air compressor to blow dust, moisture, whatever, off you mirror because it can deposit oily residue, moisture, whatever on your mirror. BUT, I have yet to hear from anyone who actually had that happen and we have already had a number of people on this thread, myself included, who use compressors regularly with no ill effect.
If you have used an air compressor on your mirror, and it caused a problem by depositing stuff on the mirror, please speak up! 
I'm not interested in tales of what people may have seen come out of air compressors. It wouldn't surprise me in the least to hear about oil blown out of an air compressor that includes an inline oiler (contractors use these to keep their air tools oiled and operating well). No, I want to hear from amateur astronomers who have actually blown stuff on their mirror with an air compressor. Not a can of compressed air -- a compressor.
