I think ill speak for most people here, something in the 1 - 200 range will be pretty much useless for most astronomy and in general anything! Get a pair of 1 - 200 dollar binoculars. they will serve 500% better than the corrosponding "telescope", and plus if your son looses interest you still have a good set of binos! you could also get a camera tripod to help keep it steady!
