You can also get yourself to a star party or observation session ( see under 'star parties' forum ), with or without a scope, and see what all this gear looks like & how it's used before you spend the big bucks.

I want to further reinforce this recommendation...if at all possible get to a viewing night or two before spending your money.
An evening (or two) invested in this way will no doubt give you a chance to get your questions answered and also give you a chance to try out some gear before you use your money.
