I’ll second Raymo’s suggestion
The humble 6” Newt is the most underestimated, under-utilised, cost effective, biggest bang for buck and versatile all round scope for visual and AP you can use IMHO
I started visual with a 6” f6 GSO Newt ( $299 ) nearly 6 years ago and after a year started Astrophotography using a Canon DSLR
I’m still using this same 6” Newt for AP now but with a Cooled Cmos camera ZWOASI2600MC. I think the current price of a 6” Newt is around $400
Like Raymo said you can comfortably view through an eye piece if you rotate the OTA. I have grandkids 5 years and older and they sit on my adjustable stool which can be raised or lowered up to 250mm
Obviously their favourite is viewing the Moon
I have other bigger scopes ( 8” up to 12” Newts ) but the humble 6” Newt is a winner
Cheers
