Large Aperture Telescopes on a Tri-Wheel cycle

I would do this.

Looks like at least a 10" aperture main scope and a 8" riding along side. Solid looking finder scopes, but no caps on any of them. All the gunk it must pick up.

I can't find anything on this, but would like to know what the dude's story is.

But, I dig it.

All that with no tracking !?

How about mounting a big dob on a pickup truck !? not that it will make it easier to get to the EP.

Three sharp-edge shadows (seems to be taking photos) in the foreground ... hinting strong light around the scene ... but the girl with the kid is not casting any such shadow
