Hi - I'm not going to advise on a scope for your husband - being a typical male I got the biggest one I could afford. (afford?!? hmmm)
But, a free option to learn the night sky is a program called Stellarium. I found it alot more intuitive for a beginner to put what you observe into perspective. The program can show you where the constellations are in the sky in real time.
Just look through the last 2 pages (most recent) of Beginners Start Here and you'll find the link.
Trust me - it's brilliant!
cheers
