A "Bucket" List Christmas Gift for Your Favorite Astronomer

Most amateur astronomers would like a comfortable observing chair that is lightweight and easily adjustable. Ideally, it should also be inexpensive and multipurpose.

I found some old paint buckets in the woods and some blue polystyrene foam floating in the lake. That trash has now become my favorite bit of new astrokit. 

Have a look at the following four pictures. . . . Not only do you have four observing heights -- three seated comfortably and one standing up -- but you also have two handy buckets for carrying eyepieces, hand-warmers, charts, and a flask of brandy. It's perfect.
