Not me, but my boss. Once upon a time, more than 25 years ago, I was working at a solar observatory. I was doing evening and morning work measuring Earthshine with a simple refractor (a disused solar full disk system) piggybacked on the main telescope. The CCD camera was a state-of-the-art $125K camera on loan from Palomar Observatory. During initial setup and trials, my boss at the time (the Director) was unhappy that it might take some time to get the system aligned the first night, so he decided to align it during the day, opening the system to full sunlight with no IR or UV blockers. He couldn't get an image, and left in a huff. We removed the camera, and found that the CCD was (as we suspected) shattered into tiny fragments. We were, not surprisingly, unable to get another camera loaned to us from Palomar, and used a good, but decidedly inferior, CCD camera that was on the solar telescope, forcing us to swap it from one instrument to the other and back each night for the next 2 years.
