Hello from Oxfordhsire

[BAZ Senior]

Hi Adrian and son, welcome to the forum.

[starship trooper]

@starship trouper - he was pretty good with looking though it "wow - I can see Jupiter", "I can see the moon really well" etc.

However, once I started to try and find some more difficult objects (Andromeda galaxy in particular) he started running round the garden and peering down the end of the scope.

Also, he's not quite go the hang of closing one eye, so holds his hand over one. And it's quite easy for a little one to nudge the telescope by accident, so lots of patience required.

Don't underestimate how cold they can get too.

kids are funny though but you do need patience dont you

Gotcha! Andromeda galaxy, you are mine. Ha ha ha!

It's a lot easier to find with binos than the telescope. But I should now be able to star hop to it with the 'scope.
