In my case the filterwheel took the damage and the shock would have gone through the focuser body and holder (enough to bend the OAG adaptor). I'll try the Tak scope from Jason and see if I can get that to sort things out.

Has anyone who owns a GSO RC seen or used this? (https://www.teleskop-express.de/shop...efractors.html)
