Has anyone sourced some sort of PT 'platform'? Something we can just bolt a camera onto with the camera aligned in the right axis so the camera is easy, and predictably pointed/tilted? If that existed you could perhaps come up with a setup a bit like those DSLR telescope setups, which can just dial any object up, and then aim right at it without the user needing to find it themselves.
At least you'd be able to sit inside, and train your camera on the moon, or the rings of saturn or maybe a quest to discover dark matter. There has to be some motorized PT mount which would allow you to do this, but I'm not sure where.
