How much did this bad boy run you though?
I want a great telescope, I've shopped around for a while now but I can't justify spending that much on one.
...and how bad at math we talking here because I failed a year long remedial algebra course haha.

Failed the same course.
This cost a few thousand bucks but you can build a 14" like it for $1500 or less, but I would recommend starting with an 8-10" ($500-$900 new, less if DIY or used). Links have more info and recommendations
