The only thing wrong with this artificial star concept is, with Newtonians you shouldn't collimate when the scope is horizontal. Because collimation could shift when pointing vertical.
Its better to collimate at about 60 - 70 degrees elevation. You then minimise any collimation shift during an imaging session.

I suppose you could get a ladder and mount in a tree or somewhere high up with a remote on/off switch.
