Hi Josh,
To be honest, for $100 you'll be better off buying your self a half reasonable pair of 10x50 binoculars and some star charts.
That little scope, once you subtract the secondary mirror from it's aperture, is the equivalent of a 50mm scope, and remember you will be viewing through only one eye.
The binos are actually 2 50mm refractors, and you'll be viewing with both eyes, giving you a wonderful depth of field. You'll be surprised how lovely the night sky looks through binos.
