Hi Chris,

Ditto to Eric's reply. A couple of other points to add are that he won't see colour in deep sky objects like nebulae and galaxies. Whilst colour show up on images, our eyes can't collect enough light to see colour on faint objects. He will see coloured stars and colour on planets. What he will see will greatly increase over time.

Will he/you know how to find your way around the sky?

You have certainly bought him (and yourself) a wonderful telescope which should keep you discovering for a very long time.
