To look through, best value for money is a dobsonian..... A reflector on a box basically, imaging limited to moon and maybe a happy snap of Jupiter or Saturn....... For imaging you really need it mounted on a drive that tracks the sky. For under a 1000 you can buy a 10 inch one of these, better still get a second hand one,
For imaging.... It gets expensive. Mount plus scope plus guidescope plus camera plus computer plus cables plus plus plus. The very cheapest would be a heq5 mount, and ed80 scope, a dslr camera, anything cheap for a guidescope, guide camera maybe a webcam of sorts,
Have a look through the articles section, there's introductory information there too.
