thanks guys, and thanks Alex for that, you are very generous I would appreciate it very much, but at least let me give you something to put towards more sketching materials - your work is superb!
I do have a little step ladder actually, I hadn't thought of using that as I kept the tripod legs fully collapsed and rotated the tube around so that he was kind of looking upwards into the eyepiece a bit, I will try arranging it so he can use the step ladder. I totally agree about the letting him be hands on though, it was purely as the mount was so incredibly wobbly that the slightest touch had the image shaking uncontrollably! I had let him help set it up with me and he'd had a good play with it beforehand. Hands on is better in general, it works with his baby sister too - he can be very gentle when given a bit of trust, not so much with my Les Paul guitar that I sometimes let him 'play' though, it has a few dings - ah well it adds character to the wood haha I will always think of him when I see those marks!
