I was thining of a rolling office chair that adjusts in height. I went to an office supply store and got one of those cheap-o ($39 bucks on sale) office chairs with the five roller legs. It has a gas piston to raise and lower but doesn't have near the travel as my observing chair. I haven't tried the office chair with visual yet to see if it comfortably reaches the binoviewers at all scope angles, but it sure beat the regular observing chair for rolling between the guider and the scope.

If the office chair works space-wise, look into getting one that's made for drafting tables. I used one of those when I was using my scopes in my driveway, it adjusts higher than normal office chairs since it's used for higher tables than a normal office desk, has both a back rest and a foot rest, and costs about the same as a *good* non-leather office chair (was maybe $90, I think). I got mine at Office Depot.

I haven't moved it to the obs just 'cause I have so much stuff out there right now and so have the Stardust chair out there.
