Telescope recommendations

[NotAGolf]

I'm thinking of getting my dad a telescope. I'm aware you can spends thousands on them, but my budget is only around £100. Any suggestions around this price? Or is everything around that price range just tat?

No need for it to be a travel version. Static is fine.

Doh, one says get reflector, one says get refracter!

I'm not keen on the second hand market when I'm not clued up on the item as I wouldn't know whether I'd been sold a dud.

What about if I stretch to something like the Celestron AstroMaster 102AZ?
