WHY THE STARCHAIR TM 3000 PROVIDES MORE
VIEWS
The most common complaint from most sky observers
is the physical discomfort that becomes more apparent the longer the
session goes. Also, the higher up in the sky the viewer points most
binoculars and telescopes, the more the neck and back strain is
felt, resulting in only brief views (30 seconds max.) until a rest
pause is needed before trying a second view. Now some optics
incorporate a "right angled" eyepiece(s) to help overcome this
dilemma but this provides only limited areas (25%) of the sky for
comfort and the viewer can sit in a seat to look into the angled
eyepiece(s). If the scope or binoculars are then shifted to a
totally different area of the sky, the position of the seat or step
– ladder, needs a drastic restructuring / repositioning to be
comfortable. This takes time and results in only certain limited
areas being observed without interruption.
STARCHAIR TM 3000 completely eliminates these time wasting and
tedious problems and continues with uninterrupted luxury comfort
observing sessions lasting 2 hours or more at a time! Many owners
of Starchair have noted this remarkable improvement of “valuable
observing session times” and also point out the “amazing space craft
rides” they see when they slew to the next observing area! Combined
with the ability to “cruise around” known areas and using the “variable
joystick control”, they discovered countless other tucked away deep
sky “gems” that they may have never found so quickly.
Quite recently found in Astronomy Discussion Groups on the web,
there has been a lot if enquiries regards particular observing equipment
Features and Benifits, and in particular, the "Amount of Actual
Observing Time Gained" per observing session.
STARCHAIR wins this debate by a long margin. (Refer to COMMENTS
Link) on this web site.
The fact that STARCHAIR TM 3000 is easily portable into any small
car and once there, sets up in 3 minutes is a real consumer bonus.
Even the commercially available Heavy Duty Tripod Mounts with
Parallelogram Mechanisms take at least this time to set up, but they
still suffer from the neck and back strains, as explained above, and
are not “variable speed joystick controlled”.
Further “time saving” benefits include the fact that basic “Sky
Vector Computer Encoders” can easily be attached to STARCHAIR TM
3000 and provide accurate “location” of at least 12,000 + deep sky
objects.
Because the STARCHAIR TM 3000 is 12v dc powered, it does not need
a long power chord from mains to provide the “drive”. Very safe and
convenient! It can be easily taken to extreme remote observing sites
and be a “stand alone” luxury stereo observing platform, providing
the ultimate observing comfort to all areas of the sky. |
