Hello from Yorkshire.

[mrmoo]

Hi, Father to a very keen six year old, always had an interest myself but never did anything about it till now. Registered to read up and see what's what. Looking to get our first family telescope in a few months. Currently using 15x70 binoculars.

[Hedgerow]

Hi and welcome to SGL forum. If you have any questions about telescopes or stargazing you will get your answers here, usually fairly quickly too. Hope you enjoy it.

HI and welcome.

I'm new here too with young kids who are far more interested in the sky than me and also using binoculars at present.

Been a good response so far....

Hi and welcome. 15x70 binoculars are a good place to start for you to learn the sky so that you will be able to point things out to your 6 year old.

Hi and welcome to SGL - there's some great stuff here, as I'm sure you'll have been told by now, if you haven't already got it - download Stellarium (free) so you can put a name to what you're seeing through the bins and the kids will love it as well!

Enjoy

Hi, I have a very keen 7 year old, who just loves the skies. Try using a planetarium with your child it boosts there confidence in finding objects in the sky.
