As an alternative, consider a good quality surveillance camera (we use
Pelco elite) and a monitor or two.
One advantage of a "TV telescope" is that several visitors can observe
and comment on the same viewing scene.
You can also capture images to files or record video images. The
difficult thing is finding and "siting" the monitor. For outdoor use
you really need something that will produce a brightness of 1000 or so
NITS. Indoor monitors are seldom brighter than 400 NITS. Don't be
fooled by what you see in shops!
