Nice!

I have either a 4.5 or 6" [Don't care for the 6" table top mount, I want an equitorial] Starblaster in my near future.

.. It's good to take an interest in the local [& not so local] neighborhood.

yeah 669 for a first scope that i own is not a bad investment. Definetly had to have the Eq mount and the Cassegrain type. i wonder how long before i have to get into astrophotography

Sounds like fun!

The only telescope we've ever had was one the kids got for Xmas one year. LOL...it wasn't very good. I swear I could see more detail on the moon without using it!

a nice pair of binoculars can do wonders with a wide field of vision

...I think you're right...

If you're gonna get a telescope...may as well shell out for a really good one...

However, the cheap ones are cute...until you get tired of dusting them...;)

I've always wanted to take up stargazing or amateur astronomy... whichever. I'd love to be able to see some passing meteors, a closeup of the moon, and distant planets.

Congrats on your new buy! =]
