There was a strange small box on the wall 40m away, and someone was doing something with it. The second time this mystery box had a visitor.
Alien communicator perhaps?
Being interested, I looked at the box with 10x42 Elite but was none the wiser.
The Canon 18x50 IS provided 3x better resolution hand held.
I could see that there was small writing on the open flap, perhaps 4 lines of instructions but impossible to read.
I probably needed a good scope at 60x or 100x to read it but didn't bother to set one up.
This was a rushed observation and I left the 18x50 on the table.
Normally I put it away after checking close to my ear that it is switched off.
2 3/4 hours later I noticed the green light was on and the IS still active although at rest. It usually switches off after 5 or 6 minutes.
Occasionally I have had anomalies with the 18x50 usually I think from low voltage as the batteries fade.
However, later I switched it on and after 5 minutes I heard it click off resting on the table, the green light off.
I could change the batteries, but I'll just see how it behaves now.
