Do you have a cover for that, or do you have to disassemble it and bring it in after each session?

And now he needs some retractable steel floor with railings, when opening window to push it out and reach the scope. Then viewing it visually would be possible. This makes my balcony viewing a mediocre attempt comparing to that photo!

That would be one way to speed the decline of visual observers.

Great way to turn lemons into lemonade. I also note from the photo that your setup appears to attract clouds.
