Hi debs, really your budget is too low for an all rounder that is anything better than a toy scope that will be an exercise in frustration anytime he goes to use it.The issue is more the mount/tripod than the scope itself. Cheap ones are wobbly and not very stable.
If it is for celestial use only, you could go for a dobsonian mounted reflector such as a 6 or 8 inch Guan Sheng or Bintel.
