Peter:
I use a 5' ladder with three wide/deep steps on it (more comfortable on the feet than the narrow wooden type).
It also has a tray, into which I inserted an eyepiece and accessory rack. Weight around 25lbs. Got it at Ace
Hardware for around $40 or so.

Subject: [TAC] Astronomy Ladders?
Hi TACıos,
Iım wondering if anyone has experience with and/or currently uses a
astronomy ladder in observing? This type of ladder has less space between
the rungs, around 8 inches spacing for a more comfortable observing
position. They are also designed similarly to orchard ladders by using a
single pole opposite the steps for placement on uneven terrain.
