Have to disagree here. When the fuse blew at switch-on some weeks
back, I had no way of easily replacing it without bringing the
telescope back indoors and abandoning the session. Instead, I used it
manually to view Jupiter, Saturn and a few other easily located
objects. Although difficult to use, it was much better than giving
up. It simply required the quick learning of new skills, such as
simultaneous dec/RA drive!

Back to lurking.
