[ATM] DOH! moments

[Bill <astronutski@yahoo.com>]

Just wanted to vent :-)

Been working on a 24" scope (Nova optics) off and on for a few years now,
a little here a little there.  Recently I received my Astrosystems spider
and that very night hurridly drilled the holes for the struts in the rings
so I could assemble the cage and see some major progress.
Well, as you might have guessed, the concept of secondary offset
completely escaped me at the time and I ended up centering the spider
(this is my 4th scope, I should know better).  On a 24" f/4 that's not a
good thing.  So, I've plugged the holes with dowels and am ready to
redrill a bit more cautiously this time.

Just wanted to share my frustration and am wondering how many DOH! moments
y'all have had.
