Another visit from Murphy. As the telescope was setting out on skyscraper deck, not locked down, a magnitude 5.4 earthquake struck Taiwan, with an epicenter 69 km from Su'ao County, Yilan Township on June 14th at 4:18 am local time. A lot of vibrating, shaking, rocking, rattling and rolling took place but the weighty Celestron telescope stood its ground. Whoever said the massively heavy and stout Celestron C14 telescope was lightweight and portable, had a few too many brewskies that night. Do not trust Celestron's advertising video. I spent part of my life as a class II Olympic Lifter and Powerlifter and the fully assembled telescope is not going anywhere!
