Hi all,
My first post, I'm researching for my son who is turning 7 next month and desperately wants a telescope.
He's a keen learner and is 'bright' for his age and picks up anything to do with technology very quickly. He's already got an astonomy book and studies the stars and moon and recalls info about them so I think he will grasp a telescope quite easily.
I have no idea where to start or what to look for when it comes to these things (he will work it out how to use it before I do no doubt) and was after some opinions as to what brand and model to buy for a first timer.
I don't want to get him anything 'too' basic and want to get him a proper scope not a 'toy' one.
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks!
