Storm Telescope Damage
We are currently having extreme damaging winds of amazing strength. The roof sheets on the house are banging up and down and the house is shaking and all I can hear is the roar of the wind!
I just went outside to video it all but discovered to my horror that my whole Astro setup has blown over and is laying in the rain!
My son and I tried to rescue it but the wind is too strong and there are things blowing around zooming past us so we have had to abandon the idea of saving my gear!
I have my ED80, 120mm Achro, Toucam, Heaters, laser, etc all up on the EQ6 on a Heavy Duty Field tripod covered by 2 layers of Tarp, but it is now crashed down to the ground getting rained on.
I won't risk going back out to save it until this damaging windstorm ceases. I have no idea what is broken and I am trying not to think of the damage. We did manage to get another tarp over it all.
