Luckily, i was close by and caught the tube with no damage to the telescope. However i did devleop a bad case of the shakes after that extremely frightening moment. Luckily no one was around to see it  |
Yeah, I would call that a "DoH!!" moment... That could have ended badly... I am glad you caught it.
