Hi Mark,
Thanks for posting this story and pic of your son. It is wonderful to see youngsters still getting that same thrill that most here probably had when we were young.
My parents bought me my first 60mm refractor (Tasco 66T) at I think 9 or 10 years old. I went away from Astronomy at about 15 then came back with a vengeance at 23 years old and it has been a big part of my life since. Met lots of my great life long friends as well as many very interesting people.
Keep the encouragement up and I am sure that you will both benefit heaps from it in the years to come.
PeterM.
