One word of advise for folks doing that, it's really easy to lose a
lens cap out that window if you have it attached to the lens with
one of those elastic things. I lost a lens cap twice (duh) before I
decided to leave lens caps completely disconnected.


Another pointer -- if you have the ability to screw on a filter on the
front of your lens, it's a good idea to put a Sky-1A UV filter on. Not
so much to filter the light, but to protect the lens. 100+ knot
slipstream can be pretty abrasive on expensive glass.
