I never got to use my telescope over the holiday due to weather and a meltdown of my power supply. Strange thing just began to melt the plastic after switching it on. I'd never used it before so it may have been wired wrong from the start. At least my father in law and son got to enjoy looking at folks on the other side of the lake. *shakes head*
I'll post something more interesting next time.
Sounds like a dangerous piece of kit if you plug it in and it starts melting - take it back to the shop and get a new one...
