I know exactly how you feel Chris, as did the same at the weekend!!!
A friend lent me his solar filter and had it on my scope, gave it back without moving the scope .... Yikes.... smoke billowing out the end of EP!!
Havent tried the EP in my scope since, but it looks quite damaged.
Am just glad it wasnt my new Televue Panoptic 19mm that had just arrived.
