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.
