No one has to reply, just want to get this off of my chest. I had a bad dream last night. I dreamed I was setting up a new scope I purchased and it was an newtonian reflector on an equatorial mount. While waiting for it to cool down and the sun to set, a landslide happened. A large rock knocked over my scope, ruining the mount and getting dirt and rocks in the tube and on the primary mirror. I tried to fix it but the views in it were not good anymore. Now I'm afraid to take Betty Lou outside to do my star test and viewing session, (I've been waiting for cooler weather and dead bugs), even though there is no hillsides anywhere. I vow from now on to never eat any Tums right before bedtime to get rid of any heartburn. I'd rather deal with heartburn than lose another scope, even in my dreams. Thanks for listening.
