To me this is daunting without having the instrument on a loose pivot and using a long side-arm and an external rope, pulley, and a weight, to keep the focus on the window frame.

>> I have actually done a rig like this many times for very slow moving "passage of time" effects.  45 minute sunsets, 30 minute moon box movements, etc.  Moving something slowly is often much harder than moving something quickly.  You can motorize it, but if you only need it to take 4 to 5 minutes, it's actually super easy to do with a manual system.
