And re other creatures of the Australian backyard.
I pointed my 12"Skywatcher up, ducked inside to get a jumper and came back to find an adult Brush-Tail possum sitting on the spider. The little bugger was hanging on tight and reluctant to let go. Thankfully, there were no ablutions to dirty the Primary mirror before it relented.
Lesson: If you have to leave your Dob, lower the tube first - or put the tube hard cover on.
(Also minimises risk of mirror-strike from those sticky bombs the Flying-Foxes drop on my washing occasionally).
