Questions/Comments on Practical Astronomy for the disabled

[robindurant]

Hi Ian

I have read your valued article with great interest. I am not dissabled but have a friend who is and who enjoys Astronomy. I suffer from cronic back back and plan all my astro work accordingly. My major purchase was of a 8" SCT was the Celestron 8iSD which is extremly light for an 8" and I had given to ma as a Birthday present this year a Binoflex Mirror for use with Binoculars. My friend can use these in his wheelchair comfortably and I sitting down and without craning my kneck.

Thanks again for a much needed report.
