From my reply in your other post:
We need a picture or a model. Celestron telescopes range in cost from $40 to $8,700.
And any number of prices in between. So without knowing what model, there's no way to know if you actually have a moral dilemma or not.
Celestron's cheaper models are actually quite poor and I wouldn't recommend them at any price other than free. Their high end stuff is excellent and well worth the price. So it really depends.
You will be able to observe it's surface colors with a very cheap telescope like this one.

Wow I hadn't thought of that... So something like this?
Definitely seems do-able and within my budget. Certainly a lot less complicated than setting up a true lens relay.
Thanks for answering my question!
I have a low grade refactor telescope.
