Step 1 - Removal of Dome Bubble
To remove Dome Bubble use the AllSky Tamper-Proof Allen
key to unscrew the four vandal-proof screws on the top of the
StarShoot AllSky Camera (SASC).
Be careful not to hit the acrylic dome with the allen key, screws
or other hard objects. Also be careful not to lose the non stan-
dard Tamper-proof allen key.
Carefully lift the dome cover directly upwards from the base
and place in a safe location. Be careful not to touch the lens
to avoid having to clean it. (Cleaning supplies sold separately
