Hi Jen,
If your 5" tabletop has a red dot finder, the kids should have a lot of fun using it themselves (providing you allow, supervised). My 4" is a hit with the kiddies, I sit them on the ground with it and away they go, being super rewarded for finding themselves.
The date just misses Saturn grazing the Moon (Brisbane) best at 1am on the morning of the 9th. Lucky people in some Aussie states get the occultation.
But we in Brissie will get our full show on Sept. 12th, just around the corner yipeee
!
All the best with your event Chris, if you want to do a shout out to promote further via our facebook page, send me a message there. I'm always up for supporting & promoting astro events around Aussie
