I bought my 6 year old grandson an 8"" skywatcher Dob so I would have more time with my 20", but it didn't go to plan, he is 3 metres on a ladder and i'm sitting in my office chair with the 8" and I must say I have had many enjoyable nights cruising the Southern Milky Way with a 31 TeleVue in the 8" Dob. A great first scope and no sore backs. Cheers John.PS can someone talk me through posting pics please.
