Well, its not quite as bad as it sounds as the "OTA" just falls off the rails with a jolt but still stays on the mount. I was quite surprised about the secondary - I couldn't work out why I couldn't see anything in the ep when the scope was pointed in the right direction then saw that the secondary was dangling a tad. Still, it will help me remember to set up in the right order!
And I agree that even had I got a look at the planet it would have been quite ordinary especially at the altitude it had reached at 2 am. After I fixed the scope I did a bit of a star test and had a look at Jupiter and it was just mush. So, yep seeing is a big thumbs down at the moment.
