Life is short, and if stargazing is your hobby, I can't think of anything better.  You should pour yourself into it.

I hope to eventually. The combination of scopes, mounts and cameras are endless. Especially when cost is involved, which can be endless itself. It’s possible to spend in excess of $15,000 for a just a mount! However, much more affordable options are out there. 
When the confluence of affordability, priority and time occurs (the definition of never?), I’ll look into it.

Can you recommend a good entry level telescope.  Something that won’t break the bank but yet still give the “wow, look at that” feeling.  Also, do you take yours places to watch or do you just use the backyard? I ask because there lots of light pollution near me.
