Kson KTE 1100 - Telescope advice if good

[darrel]

I already own a basic telescope. This a Bushmaster that is sold at Office works for around AUD 50.
two days ago, I came across another telescope with following particulars at Cash Converters for only 200 AUD. Please can someone advice if this is good for a good view of the moon and probably Jupiter. I have a low budget of only 200 AUD.

Does it come with a mount? A 6" dob or 8" secondhand would prob be better value

:question: I know Kson make pretty reasonable refractors for the price but I have never heard of or seen a 102mm f11(ish) newtonion reflector ?
What type of mount does it have , as Dannat asks ?

Can you snap a few photos of the whole scope showing the mount as well , and some down the tube to show the mirror and secondary /focuser etc ,.

But I second Dannat's advice you will be better served grabbing a 2nd hand 6-8 inch dob , there are a couple here in IIS's classifieds at the moment .
At least these will be well known and proven performers .
