You might be an astrophotographer and not know it
looks at mount, telescope, camera, and filter prices
not me for sure
Just build them piecemeal. It'll cost as much if not more but it's not all at once. Or find a super cheap camera and wide angle lens with a low f number and do Milky Way photography. Lots of options with a lowish entry price
