Default Spider in the tube!

Okay chaps, here's a good one,

My Meade LXD55 has become a home for a garden spider. It's about 3/4 of the
way down the tube and seems happy in their (God knows how he got in).

The LXD55 has the UHTC cover at the end of the tube. Anyone any ideas about
how to remove out arachnid friend or should I call Spiderman?

Should be a clear one tonight for much of England and Wales, even the cloud
in NE England should dissipate. Not great though for Ireland and Scotland.

Cheers,
Simon

Simon!

What about lighter gas or some other asphixiant aerosol? It wont get rid of
the spider but it will kill it!
