Slight revision - he says the image is "projected" "using no screen *or objective lens*"

If there's no objective lens, there is no projection - then, what is visbile to the world is the film inside the projector. So... the local telescope essentially has to zoom in on the film itself. If the local telescope optics had sufficiently low flare, daylight might not be a problem - it would essentially be looking down the throat of the "projector" at the film. In this case I see problems with aiming the home unit, plus distortions due to thermal currents.
