Stop pretending to be a student.
Just sign up for a couple of distance learning courses and there ya go!
Perfectly legit.
Which kind of takes the fun out of it.
I can't comment on CCD imagers as they scare me, but a "light bucket" refractor is going to set you back a fair bit (that 120 is a good deal - so's my AL106 ;D ).
The various Astrotech-lensed 130s seem to have a good rep as do the TMBs of the same aperture. Used, they should come in under budget.
But some of the best images taken through refractors, that I've seen anyway, come from smaller instruments in the 90-110mm range.
