Very fine giant APO binoculars, unique and hard to find. They are mounted on a StarChair 3000 (designed and built in Australia),  to view any part of the sky comfortably from a chair that reclines and swivels under joystick control.  Includes Nexus DSC digital setting circles to read the chair’s encoders.  Can drive the chair just by eye, or with digital aid from Nexus, or with a planetarium program like SkySafari Pro on an iPhone or iPad linked to the Nexus WiFi.  Splendid images with pinpoint stars. Fly through the Milky Way, and visit old favorites as you go.

Includes manuals, joystick, Nexus DSC, battery, spare parts

  • Binoculars list $13,595
  • StarChair list $9,180

It is all in good working order, most recently tested and used in October 2020.  It has all been housed in my permanent roll off observatory in Rodeo, NM.  It was all covered when not in use and is in very good condition.

Given the nature of the equipment, it would be most practical for a buyer to come to Rodeo NM to transport it.  If necessary, i can have very secure crates made by an experienced craftsperson at buyer's expense, and ship anywhere.
