Peter's got it nailed. A 10" GoTo is a great scope, but it removes a lot of the challenges whose overcoming gets a lot of people WOWed in the first place and provides the spark that turns it into a pursuit. It can deliver effortless results at a pace that will wear out most people's capacity for novelty real fast. It can show thousands, perhaps millions of objects, but nowhere near as many types of objects. So a lot of them will look similar (a lay person would say the "the same"). I fear that unless your kids start putting is some effort themselves, for example reading up on what they are seeing, or setting up an AP rig that produces images they can share with their peers, they'll be tired of the whole thing fairly quickly. Trouble is, you can't make them. They need to decide it's worth their while.
