The Aldi/Lidl offerings are fine for spotting and way under your budget.
But for that money the Meade ETX range gives you much more versatility, you will have a choice of magnifications, the ability to use filters etc, as well as to directly attach a camera at prime focus for piccies, you can also connect to a PC/Lappy to watch onscreen, either live-feed or stop frame...your only limited by your imagination.
Oh....and its a half ways decent astronomical scope too, for that its fully automatic and can find the star/planet etc for you. It comes with a remote to move the scope around, but for spotting the advantage is in being able to move the telescope with minimal disturbing movement from the user....YOU!
