[OM] Telescopes (not completely OT)

I buzzed through the archives for info about telescopes and adapters for OM 
bodies and got lots of great info from OM list titans Paul Schings and Chuck 
Norcutt. Thanks guys (well after the fact).

I'm not likely to become an astronomer. I'm not likely to use a telescope to 
photograph anything, but we were thinking about a telescope as a "family 
holiday gift," and it is possible that my son may conceive an interest in 
nocturnal sky lore and want to try to photograph something someday.

Or maybe not.  Hence my caution about a large investment.

Are the various Meade brand scopes one sees at Walmart etc. OK?  Are they good 
enough to encourage (rather than discourage) interest?  Are they worth getting 
adapters for at least for starters if the boy wants to try a shot of the moon, 
etc.?
