I use an adjustable height computer chair for the low stuff and the step ladder for the high stuff. At or near zenith I just stand.

I use up to four cheap plastic garden chairs. They are designed to be stacked on top of each other for storage, but I stack them to raise the height. Stack of four is tall enough for zenith, and one is low enough for near horizon observation. Only problem is that it's not a very portable solution.

With an 8" dob, the zenith is a real back buster. Lower back pain for days from 1/2 hour of observing.

On my 12" the EP is the exact height of my eye at zenith! Cool huh! No bending or stretching. I just stand there and look in.

What a buzz, findin your chair on a US site. Must make you feel all warm and fuzzy (and spied upon).
The whole world is checking out your bedroom.

Lets get back onto the point Gents. The thread is about the chair, not whats in the room.
