This latest binocular chair session of mine really was like a dream! Compared to other kinds of binocular observing this was at a whole new level, like an order of magnitude better.

The 90 minute session was spent with simple, relaxed cruising, near a lot of my favorite targets, in different parts of the sky. Then I had time at the end to explore some star fields in the upper reaches of the Milky Way. With a tripod I would have been constantly repositioning, with a lot of looking up at steep angles.

The bino-chair was built by attaching simple wood components to my zero gravity chair. It keeps the binoculars steady and keeps the view from drifting. It completely takes the strain off my arms and neck, and provides some really smooth spacewalking!

Happy to answer any questions about the mechanics. If you want to know more about how to build it, I put together these directions to help with getting started.
