My new telescope

[VioletDove]

I'm jealous.  I've been wanting to get a new telescope for a little while now.  Like you, I got my first one for Christmas when I was somewhere around 10-12, and since then I was hooked on space stuff.

Now that my oldest daughter is almost 7, I wanted to pass that onto her.

That sounds like the perfect reason to get one. Hopefully you can get one soon and you both can memories to cherish for a lifetime.
