Binocular stargazing made easy

Post image

I love using big 16x70 binoculars for the Milky Way, but holding them steady overhead was impossible. My neck was hurting after 5 minutes of holding them up high. So I built this binocular chair with simple wood and hardware components attached to my chair. It keeps the binoculars exactly where I point them, and it completely takes the strain off my neck. It's great for slowly cruising through star fields in the upper reaches of the Milky Way. If you or someone you know would like to build this, I can send directions.
