Bad Subs Puzzle when I’m Asleep

[SB (Chris)]

Hi everyone
Strange events after I leave the scope to do its stuff when I go to bed! I keep getting one bad sub after another. Strange star shapes and curved lines every second 300sec shot. This has happened for the last four nights!

Turned out that when I’m not up and about a Frogmouth Owl likes to perch on the dew shield to check out small possums in a nearby tree!

Not sure how to stop this happening. Guess I need to camp out!

What an unusual problem!

Perhaps a plastic eagle or crocodile may work. Or perhaps some cat/dog repellent.

You could I suppose attach those strips of bird spikes with some tape so the bird doesn't have anywhere comfortable to perch.

Bunnings sells the bird spike strips:
