Celeste Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I was wanting to go Sawley last night but Lewis didn't want to go....because I need help with the 150p-ds....I knocked it over last week and since then I can't seem to focus on much even though I collimated it (hopefully did it right) I checked the mirrors and thankfully nothing is cracked or broke....I feel silly lol. I know it's easy done, but still feels like the end of the world when you do it, it kinda crashed down in slow motion It was on it's end and my trousers caught the focusser and bang over it went I couldn't grab it in time. Silly me really for standing so close..... I take it it's fixable....I just don't know how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 What a shame Nicky. You will have to bring it down on one of our nights, I'm sure it's fixable, in truth there's not much that can go wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celeste Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 Yeah I guess, I just felt such a berk for doing it, I mean it's BIG enough to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 It's not cracked the mirrors, so probably just knocked it out of alignment. A heart stopping moment! We all make mistakes, Iam glad it wasn't a costly one for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
