Hi all. I have just purchased a beginner telescope for my 10 y/o
daughter (and myself) for Christmas. I got a Hardin 6" dobsonian
reflector. I have always had an interest in astronomy but have never
purchased (or used by myself) a telescope. I think I have 2 primary
questions. What will the initial setup be like. Right now I have 2
boxes, which I haven't cracked (poor word choice) open yet. I was
planning on getting it ready for use on Christmas Day eve. How much
time should I plan on taking for initial setup? Hours? Days (nights)?
What are some quick and easy sights to see for the first night's
viewing. The Moon is not available then. Saturn? Others?

Thanks for any replies,

Dave
