Re: [APML] Critter stories

Well, my critter tale occured about 7 years ago when I was learning to
manually guide astrophotos.  I was hunched over, looking in my right angle
guide eyepiece, and about 30 minutes into a 45 minute shot.  Suddenly a loud
noise came from some sheet metal flashing on the ground about 3 feet behind
me.  I grabbed my red LED flashlight and wheeled around on my stool.  The
adrenalin rush was going full speed.  I shined the light in the direction of
the noise and immediately saw two eyes looking back at me.  It was a
fearsome Kangaroo Mouse.  When you're not expecting it, it can be quite
startling!
