There it is, we go in under cover of bright sunlight, steal the chairs and problem solved, one for me one for erick and one for okiscopey

Actually, they look great, even though the boy in the foreground is not actually pointing at the zenith, he is close to it, close enough for me anyway. Needless to say these would have cost a small fortune to manufacture and would be outside the budget of most private citizens. It does however highlight the fact that the chair is the focus and not the binoculars, which is the point okiscopey was making.
