Hi

Buy the largest telescope you can afford with the features you want and that suits your observing style and observing site. Unfortunately, you cannot buy a large telesciope in this price range.

Best buy inder $100 is the Bushnell 3"" Reflector Telescope It is mechanically superior to most telescopes at this price because it offers a minimum of plastic in its construction. Most scopes at this price use large amounts of plastic.

For the basics on telescopes and how to choose a telescope, see my article
