Spyglass on a stand/Telescope

My idea is to be able to place a spyglass on a stand and have it function like a telescope. You would place the stand on the ground and right click it with the spyglass to place it on the stand (a bit like a lectern). If you right click the spyglass on a stand/telescope it will zoom in from the point of view of where it has been placed.

I think this would be good for survival  worlds and mapmakers because you will be able to zoom in to far spots without having to carry around a spyglass and keeps the challenge of crafting a spyglass for survival worlds.

Edit: while using the spyglass on a stand/telescope, you should right click to toggle use of it rather than hold down right click.

    I also think we should be able to attatch them to helmets.

    This is more of a decorative function but I think it would look good In my current base so I like this post.

    You should craft the stand like this (I = stick, P = planks):

    I

    I

    I like the idea but it would be better if you could move it around while it is placed. I have built a panoramic viewpoint on my city and I'd like to have those to look around the city's skyline. I think in general it would be used a lot: who doesn't want to spam them around watch-towers, evil offices at the top of a skycraper, observatories or even labs?

    Maybe you can make it toggleable and you can have it either locked or movable. Maybe you can achieve that with a redstone impulse, but idk.

    Another idea could be to be able to zoom in and out when it is placed.
