"The large-scale homogeneity of the universe makes it very difficult to believe that the structure of the universe is determined by anything so peripheral as some complicated molecular structure on a minor planet orbiting a very average star in the outer suburbs of a fairly typical galaxy."

— Steven Hawking

Side View showing screw placements. Slot for bino plate allows for repositioning of the plate to the stored position. The idea is to cover the mirro and at the same time offer a spot to store the binoculars as well as a small binder with the star charts in it. A box would cover the whole things for further protection and transporting. The reason for high side walls is to protect from side light pollution in the backyard. Neighbors lights and street lights are intense.
