I'm looking for recommendations on a beginner's telescope, preferably under $300.

Thirty years ago I purchased a Fujinon Bino that will do up to 800x with incredible visibility. But it was $800 even then and you have to have a tripod because its heavy, but you can get a mount for a camera too and we never leave for vacation w/o it. Great for mountaintops and other sights two. The decent opticals just cost. pt
