OMG I hadn't actually realised how big the 8" dobs were until I looked at another thread that also contained pictures!
Well, that totally puts my earlier question asking if it was put on a table for viewing to shame, hahahahaha!!!!
I can now see all the pro's concerning a dob for a child now, they look excellent. Think I'm starting to get excited about the chance to star gaze as well.
I will also suggest to my son to borrow from the library and pick up books that interest him. Just need to work out 'how' to find the planets and star clusters etc, I'm sure we'll have fun trying anyway.
