Hi Lynda...I probably won't be watching for two reasons..
1.  It will be 7:30 am here, daylight, .
2.  I will be on my way to work

Be sure youngest allows enough time to make sure she is aware of her 
directions(up and down, etc.), because the depending on the number of 
mirrors in her scope, the image may be upside down, reversed, or both.
