Here are some pics of the kids looking at the Pleiades and Orion Nebula. The images at top of the page resemble what we saw through our Meade ETX-60 refractor. This telescope gets good reviews but there is some annoying chromatic aberration. The kids might like rainbow-colored stars though.

Sophie demonstrates the proper way to look through a telescope, keeping both eyes open. Lucy stresses the importance of "hands off" to maintain alignment.
Chloe and I have to bend to see, the telescope needs to be set up for everyone to be able to view through. Blake likes aligning the scope better than looking through it.
