The kids will be easily able to move an 8" Dob around the sky. Right angle finders take a bit of getting used to, as the image is oriented differently to a straight through finder. Some people like them, others don't.
Just a thought, I'm pretty sure that GSO Dobs don't have enough back
focus to allow the attachment of a camera. [ Just in case you should decide at some time to take some night sky photos.]
The kids will have a ball with an 8" Dob.
