there's no polite way to put this ...

the puppy did a woopsie on one of my scopes

luckily it was the skywatcher mercury 705 that normally lives in the car boot at work rather than on the front room floor and it washed clean

Oooo, not nice...

One of our refractors was in storage and it had mouse detrius on it (number one and number two). In horror, I threw the entire scope into the bin - but then later regretted my action, pulled it out again, and washed it down with disinfectant. The kids lovingly refer it to the "mousepoo telescope"....
