Five minutes ago I'm standing on the little 8x8' deck I have in the yard getting set up for a much anticipated imaging run this evening. Everything is going fine, the scope and camera are set up, I've calibrated my guider and I'm getting ready for the first focus. (I am planning on imaging M57 tonight...) It's that sort of almost dark, late dusk time of the night.
Well, rustle-rustle through the tall grass, up from the ravine... here comes Mr. Skunk, moving fast! He dives right under my little viewing platform, my heart stops, and there he is.
What do I do now? I gotta go finish my set up. Maybe he'll move on, or leave me alone if I do likewise. Hopefully...
:S
