Amateur telescopes cost from a few hundred dollars to many thousands of dollars.
As with anything, you usually get what you pay for, so the views are generally nicer in more expensive instruments. Above that are the high end telescopes that show very fine detail and perform special functions, such as astrophotography. Don't be discouraged from trying astronomy because of the expense. There are also many public observatories that show the night sky for free. One of these can be found on the Twin Cities campus of the University of Minnesota .
