Looking to buy one for my 4 year olds for X-mas (yes I know they won't be able to "use" it - we'll set everything up & just let them look) - want Goto and something that should last us a few years - my husband has always wanted one so it's going to be a family hobby. Orion StarSeeker 130 GoTo Reflector Telescope & SkyLine Kit was what I was thinking. Relatively easy? Around $400 or less. Would you say this is a good choice or do you have one or 2 others I should be considering. Thanks!
I think I'm going to go with the Orion XT8 Classic Dobsonian Telescope & Beginner Barlow Kit - Any last recs of something better. I thought I wanted something motorized - that would help - but it may just be more fun to learn everything on our own. Since we have limited funds - this seems like the best choice.
Still not sure
Xt8i (is it worth the extra money)
Xt6i
XT8
Which one would you choose? Thanks
