Very disturbing. So no storm. Still, some araldite and the secondary is all fixed and I think better collimated than ever. Here's hoping for another go, but it seems Jupiter's dad doesn't want us to look at his blemish.

Ouch! Lucky your scope got out alive! Only had 1 look at Saturn so far, in ultra crap seeing so yeah haven't got a decent look in. And probably won't either this summer. Either it's cloudy, or if it's clear seeing is extremely crap.
