Been on IIS for about a year, and I'd just realised that apart from my tiny avatar pic on posts, I'd not posted a pic of my beginner scope.
Time to fix that.

They would be fun , music and all ,, I have tried a cheapo eb ay adjustable stool they are a bit tipy as with the cheapo drum thrones , I tried a very nice one today very stable and comfortable just not cheap guess you pay for what you get .
I'm thinking about getting a Berlebach Charon (from memory) adjustable chair. One of the important aspects for me is that they fold flat for transportation but if it's just in your back yard then comfort is probably more important over portability.
Colin I have a Charon chair, it was a good choice IMHO. It's a total no-brainer to adjust, and you can lean back on the upright section if you like. The ply chosen for the back provides just the right amount of flexure making the seat quite comfortable without feeling flimsy.

a ' Big ' Thank You to Matt for allowing me to purchase ( on the never never ) my previously owned FTX Mount which came with some special Mod's like ' Encoders ' Beautifully made Handle etc.
I can now use all my Scopes ' rock steady '

Awesome. I think you have the prettiest collection of scopes and mounts!
Today I upgraded my Pronto with the Tele Vue balance aid and finder bracket. The scope now balances perfectly even with heavy eyepieces like the TS ED 40mm.
I can now comfortably sweep the Milky Way at 12x and a 5.7º field of view.
