I envy you your view. Even if it is upside down. grin

Well, the ST-80 ships with an erect-image, 45 degree diagonal. I just
bought a star diagonal to go with it for the astronomical application.

On a clear day the view can be quite something. One looks over the dinky
little 8 and 9,000 foot Siwalik range to mountains approaching 20,000
feet over on the far side. The house is near Dehra Dun, in northern
India. The architect, by the way, has a house in a small town on the far
side of the Siwalik range, on a sort of hill-top promontory, with
something well over a 180-degree view of the mountains.
