Cheers again for advice.
I made 3 appointments for public interest days with the local astronomy club and every night I booked in was cancelled due to cloud lol. So kids were hyped to go and have a look and then shot down - This is one reason I’ve decided to buy something that hopefully will allow them to see planets in reality...I’m hoping they will get inspired and just sitting with them last few nights and explaining distances etc - it’s hard for them to get their heads around...me too. I’m also trying to manage expectations as I know they are looking at space telescope videos and co - another reason for lens upgrade.
We are having insanely clear nights of late and I have access to a property at in the absolute middle of no where with very tall hills all around blocking light pollution - so can’t wait now.
