Erik, when you have time, grab a tape measure and measure the height of your eyes off the ground while in your power chair. I need to establish the user limits for the Gerrish design. Fully seated to standing. That will give me the range I need to shoot for, as far as eyepiece height in the finished telescope. Deloy, if you could do the same thing in your standard wheelchair, I'd sure appreciate it. I know your chair doesn't raise, but if you could give me a comfortable height for you, it would help me a lot. I'm sure there are more standard chair users than power chairs, so I may aim for the lower limit. Thanks guys, no rush.
