”I have used a great number of telescopes; some are good, some mediocre and some bad. To me the Sky-Watcher range of instruments are very good indeed, and suited to amateurs of all kinds – and they are not priced out of the market! Excellent value.
Use them and enjoy them.“
Sir Patrick Moore CBE FRS
Note: The Sky-Watcher telescope models and mountings that have been tested, endorsed and recommended by Sir Patrick Moore are labelled accordingly in their respective sections on this website.

SKYWATCHER ANTI-TIP OBSERVING CHAIR View a larger image of the SKYWATCHER ANTI-TIP OBSERVING CHAIR

SKYWATCHER ANTI-TIP OBSERVING CHAIR
Add Solid Comfort to Your Observing Session 

Every astronomer should have one of these! The deluxe new observing chair from Sky-Watcher is a lightweight, rock solid platform featuring a height-adjustable padded seat. To change the seating position you just lift the seat and raise it or lower it. No tools are needed, and adjustments are done in a matter of seconds. The observing chair replaces awkward stances and squats with simple comfort. It is a pleasure to use whether you observe with refractors, reflectors or catadioptric telescopes.
Perhaps the nicest feature is the no-tip foot design. Unlike other (and substantially more expensive models) on the market, the Sky-Watcher observing chair has been designed to retain its balance and stability at all seating heights. This is a great improvement over other models that have a tendency to tip easily. Light weight and foldable for easy transportation. The chair now incorporates a simple spring mechanism which prevents the seat from dropping when lifted.

Extended Dimensions: 95cm(H) x 46cm(W) x 65cm(D)
Folded Dimensions: 108cm(H) x 46cm(W) x 15cm(D)
Adjustable Seat heights: 30-82 cm(H)
Weight: 6Kgs
