What a frustrating night :(

Went out as it is a nice clear sky tonight and everything went wrong.

My new modded webcam does not work at all properly and I entered a NGC thinking it was near the moon but instead the scope was moving behind me then the scope fell off the mount. No idea how as I always secure it enough.

LUCKILY I caught it. Just came in now and so frustrated. I have not had a good night in a long time, things keep going wrong .

Not to mention all the mosquito bites on my leg

Blimey, good catch, but nightmare that it happened! Hope it's all repairable and not too damaged. I see what you mean about bad luck...
