Adjustable Height Observing Chair

 

Tired of stooping over and breaking your back  to observe? How about tired and sore knees from bending them? This observing chair gives shake free and steady views through your telescope whether it be a dob at lower sky positions or a refractor  at the zenith.

I built this chair from about $50.00 worth of red oak, not including the hardware, in one weekend.  A beautiful chair to look at and a must for observation, especially when I use my bino viewers on my refractor.
