It looks like you could even set up dscs to this and you would have go to binoculars!!!!!

I thought Dob mounts were only for telescopes not people.

That base had better be very strong, because an obsession 30" base is huge and can support around 60 kg. This one doesnt look anyware near as large for the weight it must hold.

Theres no way my large frame would fit in there though

Hi All,

Must admit it looks pretty interesting,
I just use a swivel chair.

Regards.

Saw something like it at the SPSP.

Thats a great idea!!!

Now "this" is the way to go...

Do you know how many $K(Fujinon) that woman has perched over her head? Let alone how many kg? Starchair 3000 is lovely. Imagine a joy stick to take you around the sky? Sort of reminds me of the Millenium Falcons' guns in Star Wars! Seriously though, I have two six inch mirrors of identical focal length, two slightly overlarge secondaries, their spiders and cells which I was planning to something similar with.

That chair at SPSP was amazing... rightly so, he won a prize in the ATM section.

And it came with its own stubby holder.
You wouldn't want to get out, once you got in.

Great idea! I hope the stubby holder was self levelling...
