Observing chair?

Hi all,

This is too expensive for me, but I thought that anyone who was thinking of buying an adjustable astro observing chair might be interested in what I came across on ebay.

It seems like it wouldn't be too bad for observing, depending on what size scope you have.

Cheers,

Looks interesting Molly, but yes, bit pricey.
Geeze, dont think my bottom would even fit on that seat!!

Yes Liz, as I said, a bit pricey for me, but the astro chair is around $179, so I thought this might be a good alternative.

If I was going to spend that much I'd spend the extra and get a specialist obs chair from Bintel or such. I think they are about $180 and they are one of the best observing investments I've made. It's quite amazing how much extra detail you can see when you are comfortable.
