FS 102 dew shield

How is the dew shield removed from an FS 102 and what tools are required. I am interested in using a coronado H Alpha setup and since the adapter plate fits over the lens cell I assume that the dew shield must be removed, thanks in advance.

Vincent- It unscrews (at the blue ring). The threads are very fine so be cautious when replacing it so as not to strip the threads.

Vince, you don't have to remove the dew shield to use the Coronado H Alpha setup. My SolarMax 60 adaptor plate is attached to the dew shield. I will have it setup for the BBQ, so you can use it all you want. It is a very nice system for the FS 102.
