Most people already own a reasonable DSLR with live view and the images are easy to process.
A second hand ED prime lense is not hard to find to get started and will go onto a lighter travel mount.
Also great for terrestrial uses.
I agree that 6 or 8 inch newt is a great scope for the money, I have a lot of fun with mine, but you need to factor in the coma corrector , clunky focus and the short focal distance where a second hand SCT is very forgiving , light and flexible with cheap reducers. I had my SCT out for the first time in a while and the focus is just so easy and precise after the newt. You can see why they remain popular.
