A very lucky badger...

I've been very lucky. Twice in as many days.

Last night, I was unscrewing the focusser for my dob. Little did I know that this was the same screw (singular) that help on the secondary. Yep - crash! Primary was intact though, and just a tiny chip off the edge of the secondary - phew!

Then, just now, I dropped my dslr from about 2 feet up. Error message. Oh dear, I thought. All that's happened though was that the little plastic folds of the shutterscreen had become misaligned. A quick poke with a finger and all's well.

Think my luck has probably run out now, so I'm going to wrap everything up in bubblewrap and never get it out again!

I'd give up messin' around for the time being - Someone is trying to tell you something!

I have a small square PVC covered foam filled cushion I place on the ground directly below my viewing position, just in case of accidents with an expensive ep etc, but I need to put some Red LED`s on each corner as I tripped over it once

Lol typical! That's a cracking idea though - in light of recent events, I may just coat my entire setup in polystyrene!
