I’m in the exact same situation. Actually, already one mistake further down – she’s got a 60mm f/12 frac on a rickety AZ-1 mount. Everything about that rig is laughably inadequate, but her parents wouldn’t listen to me…
Even though it’s a featherweight, she is not able to set it up by herself, let alone use it. Truth be told, I’m unable to use it without a lot of swearing and cursing.
I’m leaning towards a 6” Dob, or perhaps a little tabletop Dob at this point, just waiting for something to come up.
