Back when I had my 130SLT I was out on a beautiful night around the back of my house. I set up on a narrow footpath in the backyard due to it being the best place to look at the night sky.
Anyway I was playing around with the scope still learning the settings and started to slew. It kept going and going and got to the point that it went beyond what it was capable of and the OTA slid out of the mount. I had the controller in one hand and the OTA in the other, lucky I caught it!
In a very awkward position I tapped on the window which was next to me to get my parents attention for help. It was pitch black and couldn't see much at all! I started walking to door and my parents turned on the light but locked the door! I tapped on another window waving that I needed help. I then went inside and they thought there was a robber outside which explains why they put the light on and locked the door haha.
Very, very lucky I caught it!
