Electrically driven observing chair.
Home built electrically driven observing chair. Using the 30x70 binoculars provided you can steer yourself using the chair all over the sky while keeping the binoculars steady right in front of your eyes. comes with the binoculars.
Get some marvelous views of the sky and see every passing satellite while seated in comfort. also good for terrestrial use. Chair uses standard 240 volt power, but motors run on 60 volts and 24 volts for safety via transformers. This is an old picture, the power supply is now properly enclosed and safe. Only reason for selling is that I am getting too old to use it. Made of treated plywood with inline skate wheels to support Azimuth drive.
Unit has wheels on back so it can be put away in my carport when not in use. Switch controls up/off/down and left/off/right and runs at a safe speed. Altitude drive is by a theatre seat actuator. Azimuth by a modified roller door motor. Can be fitted with other optical gear by adjusting the counterweight springs.
The first to see it will probably buy it.
