Show us your observing chair

[Caldwell 14]

I am convinced that the most underrated and unregarded pieces of astronomy fit is the humble, and sometimes not so humble observation chair.

As I discovered a number of years ago, a cheap or poorly designed chair can have serious consequences, I managed to break 3 ribs in a freak astronomical accident. I had a big dob at the time and was trying to locate M31 at the zenith when I unbalanced and fell backwards and landed my ribs in contact with the upright bolted seat….

Anyway, I will show you mine if you show me yours and tell me why you choose it.

here is my starbound, a must in my opinion for solar or planetary refreactor observation.

Oh that’s very nice indeed.

I can not for the life of me work out how to upload a photo from my iPhone

I made this for my wife. She occasionally gets dizzy and wanted something. She will use it, I will lean on it as i prefer to stand
