Re: Observatory chair?
      07/02/08 10:29 PM

I have one of the adjustable observing chairs. The problem is in a 7.5' dome space is at a premium and the chair when folded took up too much space. So I went to Wal-Mart and bought an $8 folding stool.

Best 8 bucks I ever spent. The stool folds flat and has been in the obs for 4 years. Since I have an adjustable pier I don't really need the adjustable chair.

The only good thing about the astronomy chair was I got it from some non-astronomy place. I first saw one in a lab. I paid about half the price of what the astronomy chairs were going for at the time.

I though about selling of but between trying to have it boxed and shipped somewhere it would cost more than what the stupid thing its worth!
