Things you don't expect to see...
..when returning from a trip to the shops.
I had my rig under a telegizmo this morning but there have been some high winds today and I found the whole shooting match horizontal when I got back.
I figure the cover acted as a sail and caught the breeze.
The kit is a heq5 on a Berlach planet tripod with an fs60 and an st2000xm with a robofocus on the side so all in all it's pretty heavy.
The MF3 focuser is trashed and the shaft for the robo focus is also munted but looks like the rest of the kit should be ok. I still have the original tak focuser so will be ok on that front. Fortunate i think that the robofocus took the brunt of the damage.
Checked the scope and CCD by doing some flats and it seems ok but will see what happens tonight.
Now then, recommends for my next focuser. Sharp sky?
