Or more specifically the sensor in my *istD.
Is this a do-at-home project or something best left to professionals?
If I can do it myself, how?
If I take it to a shop, what's a reasonable price?
My personal choice is to leave it to the professional. I'm afraid I'd be
a little ham-handed and could end up spending a LOT more for repairs.
If you're going to attempt it yourself, start here:

Forty to fifty dollars USD is not unreasonable IF the shop does a good
job. I had it done once a year.
The problem is finding a shop that DOES do a good job. I wouldn't trust
most chain stores (like Wolf/Ritz).
Nikon/Canon offered cleanings at $40 per at the CNPA (Carolinas Nature
Photography Association) annual convention, and they would take all
comers, Nikon/Canon or not ... up until this year when Nikon dropped out
and the Canon rep would only do Canon.
Don't know yet who I'm going to go to now.
