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.
