The skywatcher heritage 130p is a very good scope to begin with. I started with this an still use it from time-to-time and now my 8y.o is starting off with it. You can see planets and the moon with it. Also you will have some money to put aside for some accessories like a barlow and filters etc. and you cant beat the 5y warranty
for another $200 you can get a go-to version, but I say start with the basics first.
Cheers
