A Lunk of Sanctuary was created by Until_then-Goodnight!
In the year 2268, a Lunk of Sanctuary attacked Spock as he was trying to swim to the shore of Khyming.
For a moment there tonight I thought I was observing one of these snail like creatures, however it was just a run of the mill snail from planet earth![;) ;)](/media/kunena/emoticons/11.png)
I've no idea how he got into the scope as the dust cap was on...taking the mirror out provided me with the chance to give it a nice clean though...silver linings and all that, hey!

What an extraordinary event that was, Darren, finding a snail inside your telescope.
It reminds me of the time when I found the tiniest snail inside an eyepiece.
This also occurred with the snail buried in under the cap of the eyepiece.
I was observing the Moon at the time, and I couldn't figure out what was wrong!
Still I had to thoroughly clean the eyepiece before I proceeded.
I admired your analogy with Spock in Star Trek.
I have a hectic week coming up. And we are due quite a number of cloudy nights.
Maybe by next weekend we will have some clear skies again.
Very best regards from Aubrey.

Hi Aubrey,
Two weeks since I last posted here - where does the time go?
So, it isn't just me who have found that snails are keen to observers too : )
Clear skies,
Darren.
