glowjet Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Lesson 1, Ouch! best get the leg dressed to stop infection, you don`t want to become a one legged Astronomer Lesson 2, place a padded cushion or similar on the floor under the scope, when changing optics imaging equipment etc, saves putting your leg in the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beulah Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Well at least it will heal up without hurting your bank account. The filter wheel would need financial help to heal. Good save there - fancy having a go at being a Goalie for the England Team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
