First Light Disaster

After recycling a lot of gear I finally had enough cash to purchase a Skywatcher Esprit 120 to replace my Televue 85 as my main imaging scope. I have had it for around 3 weeks and Wednesday night was the first good night for taking some photos.

So off to the park.

1. Setup scope
2. Connect battery the wrong way (reverse polarity)
3. Bang
4. Go home as my mount (AZEQ6-GT) is fried

So until a new motherboard comes i will only be able to admire my new purchase. I have setup 1,000's of times and this was the first time I have made this mistake.

Oh well ......
