Hi All,
I would agree with all the previous comments,and add,a scope of that size, with its Narrow field of view,may tend to bore an 8 y/o fairly quickly,unless someone is prepared to keep it on track all the time.
A pair of binoculars with their far greater FOV would be the better option IMHO,however,I seriously doubt an 8 y/o would be able to hand hold ANY of them steady enough to view a night sky,REGARDLESS of magnification,
so with my limited experience,I would suggest any hand holdable binoculars,7x50 to 11x56,MOUNTED for the youngster,But still hand holdable for adults to use.
Regards.John
