A friend of mine got one of Infinity telescopes for his kids and they love it and he was raving about the quaility, although I never saw it in use, or have anything to compare it to.This type of thing, might be less if you shop around.http://www.microglobe.co.uk/skywatcher-infinity-76p-children-parabolic-reflector-telescope-p-8376.html

I wonder if there's any way of attaching a camera to it for taking photos of the moon surface etc (though I suspect you need to spend a vast amount of money for that sort of thing...)
Pretty tempted myself for that price. Is it a big jump in price to get better quality or are you mainly paying for a motorized mount etc? I daresay I'd be tempted to start attaching a camera...
