So I set up the Televue 85 in the living room pointing out the window.
At first, there was no point above 33x on the Moon. As it darkened, I was able to go up to 100x before the image softened too much. The double paned windows reminded me that they exist for thermal insulation, not optical quality. There was a ghostly double image about 20 minutes removed the real image.
I would not attempt astrophotography from inside but at least I was able to verify that the clock drive is tracking across the sky accurately.
