I see you can get an equivalently-sized Meade for something like 120GBP these days! But like I said 4.5 is too small, even for a beginner. You could get a 6 inch reflector relatively cheaply (make sure it's an equatorial mount, although this is probably less important with a motor). You may even want to add the motor later once you've decided whether you're really interested or not...</p></blockquote><p></p>
