far away as possible

Is this the correct use of the word far away and while? Is the sentence grammatical?

Stay as far away as possible while still being able to see him do the transaction so as not to get spotted.

Thanks

"far away" is correct. "while" is used correctly in itself, but the whole insertion of "while still being able to see him do the transaction" feels a bit awkward (though not strictly grammatically incorrect). "

"Stay as far away as possible so as not to get spotted, but make sure you can see him do the transaction."
