QHY8 Storage ??

[jcm]

My QHY8 arrived today. I know it should be stored in an air tight box with silica gel. Should I unscrew the front clear glass filter ( so the air in the camera can be dried ) or leave it in place when a put it in the storage box ?

leave the nose piece attached at all times! The camera isnt a 100% sealed unit, so you will get some diffusion of dry air into the camera body while in the box, but if you take the nose piece out to get dry air in it, as soon as you open the box, all that good work will be lost.

Thanks for the info , Steve.
