Nice chair there Bill, pity you had to leave it behind

I tested mine last night for the first time under the stars, previous test was done in my lounge room moving the telescope around

Was great, even my 3.5 year old could use it ok. He looked very cute perched up on top of it (with me steadying him) looking at Jupiter through a wideview eyepiece
