3. Remove the shutter or filter wheel by unscrewing the small
Philips head screw and washer that holds it in place. Make
sure you know which side goes up. With filter wheels it the
side with the filters but with shutters you’ll have to keep
track of it as they won’t work right if flipped.
4. Remove the CCD Cover/Window Plate by loosening the four
SHCS that hold it in place.
5. Pull out the old desiccant pack and replace it with the fresh
one. You may have to wedge it in there or fold the bag
slightly to get it to fit.
6. If the CCD cover glass is spotted it is easily cleaned with a
cotton swab and isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. Dust here is
very critical, so take care.
7. Replace the CCD Cover/Window plate, shutter and front
cover.
8. Let the camera sit for 24 hours before cooling to give the
desiccant time to equilibrate the CCD chamber.
