Hi to all you seasoned members - I look forward to learning and getting stuck in but before that I have an issue?

I managed to crack the cover screen over my 224 last night ( I saw it needed to be turned to focus to infinity and didnt realise it went in too far - ouch!!!!!!!!!!

I can see a rim where it appears the unit screws together so does it just screw apart anti clockwise as I can't seem to get any grip on it to open it and I don't want to be heavy handed and cause more damage.

Sam at ZWO is kindly sending me another screen but for now I need to remove the cracked one before I can use it.

Thanks for any help.

Problem solved - hurrah.

I remembered we had a stubborn jam jar rubber opener thingy - result is front undone with no damage and glass removed.

Happy bunny again.
