Most recent "DoH" moment was in setting up my brand new (at NEAF this year) APM 130/780 refractor...

Placing it on my mount for the first time, I was so excited and proud...I turned to get the diagonal and looked back to admire my scope and...

I watched it begin to slowly tip toward the gound...

I dove "in slow motion" to catch it all before it hit the ground...(remember I am a "husky lad" too and don't often move with lightening speed)

I made the catch (hurray)...and it dawned on me that I had not tightened any of the mount legs...I felt like such and idiot...but all was well in the end!
