Somewhere there must be a definition of "scientific equipment".
At what level does a mount cease being a consumer item and progress into being scientific equipment ?
Are you a scientist using this equipment for scientific purposes or were you just using it as an amateur hobbyist ? I am assuming not, so why would there be any reason for you to have considered this.
Is it covered by your household insurance ? or any other insurance ?

Might be worth getting a lawyer involved.
A scientific instrument is an instrument used for scientific purposes. Most are measurement instruments.

Sounds to me that a wooden ruler could also fit into this category...
