Well, from that perspective, I’d think about something different: a good DSLR or mirrorless camera on a tracking mount (to follow the sky as it rotates) would yield excellent wide field images of the wider sky, constellations, nebulae, etc., & a telephoto lens can be fitted for zooming in on the Moon & other smaller targets.

Telescopes have a very small field of view & don’t at all capture the majesty of the night sky with horizons, lakes, trees, & so on.
