    I’m looking for an observing chair like the one in the link.http://www.telescope.com/Orion-Deluxe-Quick-Adjust-Observers-Chair/p/5939.uts#tabsI cant find it in the UK. The USA sites where I do find it, don’t ship to UK.Any ideas or suggestions?

    Thx for your reply, Callum. I did look at them at the suggestion of the USA site. I looked at Telescope House too and found nothing on their lists either. I think I will have to call them and ask them to import it for me. They should make the effort as I plan to spend £1k on scope and equipment. I got some plans for a chair from the internet (attatched), but I’m dangerous with a saw Lol

    Have you considered an adjustable ironing chair? They are sold in France by the Redoute catalogue for about £40 euros and appear to be the same thing.

    As Helen suggests – Try Ironing Seat or Ironing Perch in a search on Amazon UK .Very occasionally the Lidl or the Aldi supermarket chains have them on offer as specials at super low prices.
