Jono, I have to agree with the others.

For $500 you can be set-up and viewing in 5 minutes with a Dobsonian. These scopes are fairly cheap and are good quality. They fit in most cars (depending on the size scope you buy) are fairly light to carry and give very good images.

I don't know much about refractors but I do know it is hard to get a good quality one under $500. Often the mounts let them down even if the scope is good.

Ask anything, we are here to help.
