Hmm, I feel I should toss a few pennies in here...
As a young (started at 13, now 22) observer, I started out with a 60mm refractor with some of the cheapest, non-standard sized EPs and Barlow you would ever want to have a nightmare of, but it worked for my budding intrest. Recently I purchased an Orion SpaceProbe 130ST on sale for about $250. It has 2 Plossl EPs and I purchased the Shorty 2x Barlow. With just those items (cheap but good) I have no need to buy expensive accesories. But when the time comes I prolly will get some better EPs + barlow. I guess it just depends on what you need to do. If you go out every clear night and make detailed logs and take pics, maybe you should go for the expensive stuff. Otherwise stick to mid-priced items with good reviews you should be good to go!
How many pennies was that... ( i'm saving for a new car )
