If I weren't building this layout, I wouid have a telescope in the back yard!
You can get a Celestron first scope for 50 bucks on e-bay. I have one and use it on nice clear nights. I have spotted Jupiter and its four main moons. Venus, and the moon looks incredible with it. Just in case you are interested.
