Hi there,
My 6yo old son has started to show an interest in astronomy and has been pestering me to buy him a telescope. I've done a bit of research on this forum among others and think I've narrowed my choices down to the following:

1/. 6 or 8" GSO Dob,

2/. Orion ED80 refractor or,

3/. Meade ETX-125

Which of these 3 would be the better choice given that the main focus initially would be observing the moon & planets and some DSO's?

I realise the dob would be the cheaper option but I was thinking either of the other 2 choices may be a bit better in the long run if he wants to pursue other options like astrophotography.

Cheers,
Glenn
