Hi Eric, I only paid $399 for it which I think was a good price & being his 1st telescope I think it will be best to see if he is really that interested & is going to get into it. I hope so as we have brilliant skies up here as we are high up in the mountains out of Coffs.
If he does get right into it the I would like him to be able to take photos, what sort of Camera withou busting the Bank would suit.
