good quality equipment for first time

Hi guys! Got a few search results going to your site so I'm guessing you guys might know a thing or two!
I have never even looked into a Telescope but I'm getting a bit frustrated that I'm missing out on seeing rare astronomy events, is very intriguing.

My first thought was too but a Kogan Telescope but then I realised I don't know anything about Telescopes, it is probably utter rubbish.

So a measure of a 'good' Telescope seems to be viewing Jupiter's rings and moons so I'll stick with that for a benchmark.

I want something that offers good value for money for what's offered on return. It doesn't have to be the cheapest because I don't want to be stuck with something that's not good for much.

I have 20/20 vision, 27 years old, no glasses.

Budget is around $300 if Australian stock as I'm going to USA in a couple of weeks. So that also means that it shouldn't be too big/heavy if I'm taking it with me.

Or I could buy it from United States if it's cheaper.

I don't think that I need local warranty... these things aren't like electronics that can Break on their own?

Thank you muchly
