My worst nightmare. Thankfully yours didn’t slide onto the floor and smash. I overtighten counterweights, tube rings, etc, so much out of fear. The only thing I tighten with restraint are collimating screws as I heard that the Newtonian miror can crack.
This hobby has enormous potential for both satisfaction and disaster. I haven’t broken anything yet, but I have a feeling that that day is approaching…
