You need a decent reflecter scope.. don't get a refractor.

The 2 refractor scopes here are about the best you'll do price-wise.
Was gonna say much the same. I worked in Natural Wonders for a couple of years in my youth and learned a bit about the things. Your $150 will only buy you a scope that will be good for peeking at your neighbours and looking at the moon (but not in any great detail).

If you want to really have a look at the sky you are gonna have to get one of the big mother fuckers and spend nearer $1000. Of course the big bastard won't be any good for looking out your window at the pretty lesbian college girls that just moved in across the street.
