Picking up my Tak Mewlon 180 a couple of weeks after I had forgotten that I had undone and removed the retaining/lock nut on the focuser.

The mirror and baffle assembly fell down the tube, hit the secondary and buckled the spider. Beyond repair, but like with all (minor) disasters, perspective returned with introspection and time.

Cheers
