摘要：An astronomy console includes various features which provide greater comfort and convenience for a user thereof. The console includes a seat which may include heating and/or cooling systems therein, as well as attachment for a telescope or other optical equipment to be aligned with the eye of the viewer or user. The console includes a horizontal and a vertical axis, which axes are motorized in order to provide for the tracking of celestial objects. The tracking process may be automated, or may be manually controlled by a switch panel or keyboard, as desired. Additional comfort and convenience features may be incorporated, such as audio systems for the enjoyment of the observer, and/or computer driven graphics displays of star charts and the like. The present astronomy console will be seen to be of great value particularly to ardent amateur astronomers who enjoy the hobby, but by its nature would be otherwise required to partake of the hobby in whatever ambient conditions might randomly occur.
