Great! Get a good set of binoculars (or one for you and one for each child) and go learn the sky. You can get bios that can be fixed on a tripod if it will help.

I’ve been into astronomy for 50+ years now, and I am still amazed by a good dark night away from everywhere.

We are out cruising in our sailboat (or trying to anyway). I have a small scope for use when we get out in the Bahamas or South Pacific and can dinghy in to an island for some real dark sky observing.
