I appreciate all the wide and varied feedback that I received, ranging from binoculars (which we already have and use to look at the moon) to some ideas for a backyard dome - what a great community we have here! I wound up ordering the Meade ETX-70AT, a Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope with a computerized motor base. This one is fairly small and portable, and I found a fabulous offer for a new one on that "well know auction site", making it not all that much more than a basic refractor telescope.
I have some idea who might wind up using it (me!), and would like the lowest level of frustration possible - this seems like a very nice unit. I'm still concerned about observation in the Chicago metropolitan area (and it's currently 3 degrees F outside!), but I hope this will be a good excuse to get out of town over the summer.
