That's awfully bad luck Richard.

I installed an anti-lift system that is permanently engaged - but allows the dome to rotate freely. In addition, I have three systems to lock the shutter down, and I don't leave the obs without doing a check that all three are done. Something to consider for MkII. I could dig up some pics if needed.
