We are setting up an astronomy club and looking for a telescope. We want a good one ( some thing like Meade ETX range) and we are a group of students not able to afford one.

My club is really interested in getting a telescope. It would be good to add in the costs in US$ as well as other accessories needed and the specifications of the telescope suggested. Thanks! :) My country has quite bad light pollution.
