Morton - the ultimate in observing comfort - an electric wheelchair scope with integral eyepiece rack... the scope has fine adjustment in alt/az... for gross changes in az merely slew the wheelchair. Large battery suggests you could have heating too, for those cold winter nights.

The scope in this example was a Meade 10cm f/10 SCT, but the trials suggested a 20cm SCT is practical if you are able-bodied (this was made for Andrew James).

Would be the ultimate in convenience if stored in a garage in a dark suburb - hop on and drive out.
