You generally get more bang for your buck with a reflector telescope. I have both and I prefer the reflector over the refractor.
One good place to look for telescopes online is Orion Telescopes. They sell all the popular brands and accessories at good prices.

Be sure and request a free catalog from them. It's full of good information, tips, pictures and descriptions of all their products.

First thing,what you want to observe. If it is planets,better go for retractor. For general purpose, reflector gives more aperture.for your money.
Before spending money,learn to identify constellations by naked eye. Then buy a pair of binoculars and see more details.
Cheapest are dobsoninans as light collector,

I own the Meade ETX-80BB Backpack Observatory Telescope
Its originally made to view Saturn but for $250 it is great.
