Ouch!
Did you see stars?!
Oh, but seriously, that would have hurt! It's a dangerous hobby this one. You manage to escape the attacks of nocturnal creatures, and tripping over things in the dark, only to find that your own home gets you.

Thank you
Dean.
What kind of wheels did you end up getting and how's the performance over grass?
Liz, 
. Yes, this scope is definitely it for me (urrrr, for a dob anyway)
. Would you believe, the night before picking up my scope, I had a dream that I needed to get a 6" refractor,
I even heard myself say out loud "aperture fever".
Hubby told me to wake up so I would stop waffling... poor guy he even has to put up with me talking about this stuff in my sleep.
It's amazing how well the weather is working with me since I got it (2 nights in a row of clear skies and looks set for the same again tonight). I remember with my first scope, having to wait about 10 days before being able to use it for the first time.
