It is leisurely cruising in star fields, totally immersed; here’s why:
- you’re in a comfortable zero-gravity chair in a laid back position while you have access to the entire sky
- you’re using both eyes, close up and aligned with the eyepieces, in a large field of view, unable to see anything else
- you’re looking straight through to a non-inverted view, unlike through most telescopes
- you’re very finely adjusting the view in any direction with a slight touch
- you’re using low magnification, to gain perspective and to see spatial relationships
- your view is steady, due to the stable mount and the comfortable viewing position
- you have easy access to high elevation viewing, where it’s generally clearer and darker, due to penetrating less atmospheric thickness
Like in a virtual reality cockpit…. but slow… just floating in the star fields!
Shown below is a fairly close representation of what is seen when a bino-chair is cruising around in a star field at high elevation. The actual view is more immersive and 3D, with shimmering pin-point stars, especially on a dark transparent night.
