No need for a ladder, pointed straight up standing on tippy toes puts me just shy of the eyepiece...I figure a 4 inch thick piece of wood will do the trick to stand on. Alternatively I could will myself to grow 3 inches taller (instead of wider) which would also do the trick.
Most of the night I can still sit comfortably in my Stellar Seat
A small 2 step step-stool works great for shorter guests to view as well.
While more aperture would always be nice, for me this is a really good size. I've got some ramps to roll it into the back of my CRV and like most truss dobs set up is a snap.
I've also got the 12.5 inch Discover Truss and it has been interesting to compare the two systems...both work well but I prefer the Obsession Solution.
I am happy with the set up but of course, it is not the Mary Rose!
