When I bought my boys their telescope, a 60mm refractor on an alt azi mount, they enjoyed it, for about a week. All we could really see were the Moon, Saturn and a few of the brighter nebulae.
Skip forward a year, the kids are a little older and we upgraded to a 10" Dob. The kids loved it. They could use it on their own, there were no knobs to loosen and tighten if you wanted to move to another object.
And those faint fuzzies were so bright compared to the little refractor.
They have since lost interest in the hobby sadly. But if I had my time over, I would have bought the Dobsonian first off.
