SPACE1 with Singularity Observatory has opened the glass portal project, taking a telescope and observing through a massively large but thin single pane of two sided parallel common float glass, day or night. This will promote indoor comfort viewing of exterior objects on land and in the sky without being subjected to bugs, intense heat, cold, wind, rain, solar radiation or strong air pollution.
Part of this research investigation is to develop techniques of image processing to clear up the image through glass in these circumstances, not unlike images through the thickness of the Earth's atmosphere. With glass, this may include double imaging correction. Spinoff science research programs include viewing mountain fauna, insects, animals, birds, and various structures in terms of photo collections. Research will also include cleaning up deep sky images plus lunar and planetary prospects.
