Anyone own a telescope? Looking for a decent entry level one

Willing to spend up to $200.

If you own one, do you have any suggestions?

Got one, purchased it from a dope head (my best guess he was on drugs because it screams stolen property.)

It’s about 2 steps below the one in your pic.

Was going to join an Astronomy club because I haven’t a clue on operating it but COVID canceled that.

All I know is you should align it during the day and not at night?

only ones i really know are the celestrons like in your pick. real nice no complaints i bought my son one when he was around 5 years. overall great telescope. about the same size except for the big attachment on the middle part. might have paid like 70 dollars for it.

Be sure to get a good equatorial mount this way you can get this crisp long exposure while the earth is rotating. Also you well be able to track moving satellites.

I bought this one for my dad this year. You can attach your phone to it to take pics and video of celestial objects. Will find objects for you.

I might buy me one as a gift to myself over labor day.

Find something on Amazon.

I have an Orion Skyblast II, it's cool for the moon and known constellations. Unfortunately, it looks like Orion went out of business.
