I use an adjustable gas strut bar stool for comfy viewing plus from my garage to my car bay observing location is only 6m away. Very convenient
The 20” is very enticing !!

Oh yeah, I have a 12" goto Skywatcher too, it has provided great views for sure! ...buuuut still piddly, compared to a 20" I am afraid, especially under true dark skies!
