Thats great your daughter is soo very interested. I just have a question that others might answer though as I have never had a dobsonian or newtonian telescope. I see them used by adults though often grumbling about the regular collimation (alignment of the two mirrors and focuser) needed. Also, the eyepiece location on newtonians or dobsonians requires you to view at the high end of the telescope tube, is this readily achievable by a 6 year old? Mark
