Matt... Get one of the following...
I got this one... A 4" Dobsonian for $130 delivered ($99 + Del) from here
http://www.australiatelescopes.com.a...omy-scope.html
You'll need to jump on ebay and buy a plossl eyepiece and 2x barlow but they are only another $30-50...
If you can stretch it, go this 5" collapsible dobsonian

It was even cheaper before... Was $199 delivered...
Here's a youtube video on the 5"
