[ATM] viewing chair

["Jerry B. Hillman" <JBHillman@ev1.net>]

Hi all,
Has anyone designed a chair that can be used with the large aperature dobs?
A 40" F4 still is going to put you on a ladder.  I am thinking about a
motorized chair that follows the scope and is height adjustable so you don't
have to climb a ladder in the middle of the night.  Look at the lifts that
the electric company uses. Wouldn't a chair mounted on the boom end instead
of a bucket be nice, with a console at your fingertips to control the chair?
Just a thought.
Clear skies, Jerry
