Ask your public library. I’m serious. In my central MA town the library has a pretty decent telescope that card holders can borrow.

Yeah, we have one in our library of things.

You could also go to one of the public telescope viewing nights at BU (I think?). Museum of Science also had some nights as did Lynn Woods

That’s probably a better way to start. The telescope(s) will probably be higher power for more spectacular views and you don’t have to fiddle around getting the scope aimed and tracking correctly while your kids shift from foot to foot then start complaining that it’s too cold.

Mine in the minuteman network also has a telescope to check out. OP, look up the library of things for the libraries near you.
