It's particularly funny when a magazine runs an astro-photo contest
offering rinky-dink prizes like an entry-level 5" Newtonian worth
$400 when the winner of the contest will likely have $10,000+ worth
of gear at his/her disposal. What will they do with the cheap Newt,
use it as a doorstop?

That's foolish of the magazine to offer the useless prize, and in some
sense foolish of the winner to have entered above his grade - if you
have a Kennel Club champion German Shepherd, you shouldn't bother
entering it to the dog show in the local park.
