Greetings from Dominican Republic, i'm a total noob on this who since my childhood loved all about astronomy; i'm thinking about buy a telescope, not a expensive one, i upload the 3 option that i have (regard to my possiblity $$$) which one should i buy? i can't pay more than US$100 because i have to pay a lot shipping to bring it to Dominican Republic

of the bunch the sencond one is the most decent, the mounts of the first and third are almost unusable

oh god, the third one was literally my first hobby killer telescope I used when I was 13

#

I didn't know they were still being made

#

I'd give serious consideration to binoculars too, especially if dark skies are readily accessible.

yeah for 100 dollars a pair of 7x50s might be your best option, you aren't really gonna get a good scope for that much

#

and also using both of your eyes to view is so so much more comfortable than one eye

Yep

#

Binos will be best for price to performance

Just bought bino

#

Keep the expectations low
It would be better than these cheap telescope but also don't expect much on binos too

#

It's fun to use it but keep the EXPECTATIONS low

#

Otherwise you will end up not using the binos

Take binoculars to dark skies for sure.
