Best telescope for a kid just starting out?
I’m thinking about getting a telescope for my child to start exploring the night sky and want something that’s easy to use, not overly complicated to set up, and still gives a good view of stars, the moon, and planets. I’m not looking to spend a fortune but want it to actually be fun and not frustrating.
For those who have bought telescopes for kids or beginners, what models have you liked and why? Any tips on features that make a big difference for little hands and curious eyes?
