I guess for public viewing, if possible, it would be highly desirable to keep people away from the ‘scope. If the ‘scope can track, then having a webcam with the image displayed on a notebook computer seems a good way to go.

You could isolate the ‘scope and only have people come by the notebook display, inside a cardboard box on a sturdy camping table?

Batteries, equipment, leads, etc. could be routed and stored under the sturdy camping table whilst people could view just from the front direction?

The cardboard box could be deepened to ensure the notebook display is reasonably dark and you could operate the ‘scope via the hand paddle near the notebook?

This way, no one gets to look through the ‘scope, or even touch the ‘scope, leaving you to focus on operating the computer and keeping the image centred?

Cheers
