I just lift the whole tripod up and look at the sky.

But as your hand tremor may affect that, ideally one would have a tripod where one can easily raise and lower the central column with a rotating lever.

Then, while sitting on a stool, pull the tripod back to be on two legs and raise or lower the binoculars on the central column to match your eyes with wherever you are aiming. This means that you won't be straining your neck much. I do this all the time with my 25x100 binoculars and can aim pretty high in the sky (though not to overhead).

I also mount the binoculars backwards - that is - with pan handle aimed away from me, rather than digging into my chest.
Regards,
Renato
