[Lvas] Disaster strikes!

[Douglas Phillipson]

I was out looking at the list of objects I posted and I didn't notice 
the coiled cord that connects my electric focuser to its power supply on 
the scope was wrapped around the scope.  It wound and got pinched 
between the scope stand and the turret and proceeded to jerk the wires 
out of the connector!  This device is a "micro focuser".  I can still 
focus with the focus knob but it is a real course focus.  Dang!

Looks like a call to Meade is in order...

Oh I did see quite a few of the objects on my list with the CCD camera 
even in light polluted skies...
