Hi all, I'm overwhelmed with your help and can't thank you enough.
Jaden is 10 he is very able doing many things once he has been shown how to, but he does have limits to progress, my reason for the GoTO mount is for him to enjoy himself actually seeing something! 9 out of 10 he will not be seeing anything, when I do get something in focus for him it's priceless seeing his excitement, Tiny Clanger you are spot on!
All observing is done from the garden.
For two years Jaden has show the same excitement viewing the sky, his youtube history is astronomy, stars, planets etc and I feel I'm holding him back from viewing more.
His dream is to see Saturns rings and deep space, the pictures he shows me Saturn is tiny but Jaden seem very happy, I'm not looking for an all singing and dancing telescope, something that is cheap (if possible) bit of an allrounder!
I was hoping to buy something second hand that's affordable on a low budget, didn't realise second hand telescope hold their price, I guess if you have it for two plus years like his (National Geographic Premium 76/700) it's good value for money.
