Making it easier for the younger kids

Hi everyone,

Going to order my new Lx200r next week; won't be able to sleep till we get it. Just a question, we always have lots of young kids over including ours and when I get the other scopes out some have lots of trouble using focuser's ect. My 4 year old daughter is becoming more obsessed with this astronomy bug than me.She is always telling cousins etc about planets so my question was do you think the G-star ex hooked up to a small monitor would help me keep the littlies instrested including me when wanting to view DSO,planets and the moon in semi-light pollution. I don't mind spending the money if it gives them fun and educational at same time. Also would a focul reducer be good and which one would you recommend. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Regards Matt.
