Default Do you keep a scope by a window?

A common site in movies, the proverbial small refractor mounted near a
window. This was probably more common when houses had big bay windows
out front than now that few do. People may remember a Questar ad
showing a Questar on a table near a window. Keeping a small scope
permanently mounted is also a way to avoid procrastination when it
comes to "Should I go out or not?" syndrome. A small apo, on a light
mount or tripod is certainly no struggle, even if someone is tired.
