Thanks everyone, don't know whether the binoculars are the go as child is pretty small.
Janokiss - the reason for the scope for xmas pressies is that child had asked for a telescope for xmas and the Catadioptric seemed to satisfy the "telescope" description but offer a little more versitility given previous interests in wifelife etc. We have an old pair of bioculars 8x25 that have been used by child but not to any great extent. Don't want to be giving large telescope to this child to the detrement of our other children ie the old north/south korea Thought that the catadioptric scope offered a go starting point.
Has anyone actually looked at the moon and planets through one of these scopes?
