  You get what you pay for.  I think the Meade newtonians are good value for
the money.  They are simple, and lck many features of the SCT type telescope,
but this is not a bad thing.  I've ssen to many poeple go all out getting
every gadget under the sun then becomming overwhelmed by thier equipment.
   From a personal perspective, amatuer astronomers with the simplest, most beat
up equipment seem to be the ones who actually do spend a lot of time
observing.
