I was thinking of getting about ten of those telescopes and connecting them all up spreading them out and than focusing on one point.
What do you think?

Give me a big generic light bucket with a smooth helical focuser.
But give me something quick to set up, for I observe more when observing is convenient.
And give me a tube and mount that fit the site. Particularly, let the eyepiece wind up at a comfortable viewing height. Four hours bent over or on a ladder lessens the joy.
