Thanks Paul! I wonder how well it supports the neck and head for extended sessions of looking skyward?

Sorry, I meant to identify the chair. Yes, it’s a Nemo Stargaze, “luxury” model. Your head is totally supported as if you were on a chaise lounge. Here’s a YouTube vid:

Well the Lady & I were both interested enough in the Nemo Stargazer chair that we stopped at an REI and test drove one. We found it uncomfortable and not a chair for us for looking up at the night ski. We were impressed with the GCI reclining chair and are currently figuring out the best option for carrying/storage two in the camper -

 

GCI Recliner

 

 

I thought this was a gimmick when my wife bought one, until I sat in it. It is amazing, allowing for both upright sitting and reclining into a "stargazing" posture. Extremely comfortable, and it folds up to a packable size. Minor assembly req'd, and yes, it's pricey, but is worth it, imo!

Looks like a Nemo StarGaze Recliner. https://www.rei.com/...-recliner-chair

Maybe you could consider a treepod.

Just got back from a few days in Death Valley. Really enjoying the Kelty Deluxe Lounge Chair. It has three recline/sitting positions and bilateral cup holders. Each cup holder has a divider too. The storage wrap is a better design than the older sack type common for camp chairs.

We like these re-webbed oldies from the Telescope Folding Furniture Company

Nice. I used to reweb a lounger in the past that we used in Baja for ages. It was a leftover from the 60's

I go right by Kamprite on the way to the dog park. I'm of the belief you can't have too many camping chairs and as they were having a yard sale (getting ready to open a new retail section) I picked up another chair.

 

Quality is standard chinese chair, probably won't last more than a couple years. Testing on the patio says its pretty comfy though.

Does pack up nicely.

 Have gone through a lot of chairs over the years using a couple of Harbor Freight

chairs now, cut off the table section.

Might not work for "weight challenged people" but i'm someone who likes to lean back in a chair

and this one has held up great, light weight and good frame design.

Price is not bad $19.00 with coupon.

Makes me sound cheap!
