A nice Dobsonian would fit nicely in that budget. Saturn rings, Jupiters moons, and a few nebulas come in nice on one of those. No tripod needed, but a folding table helps.

Assuming you want to look at the planets and stars, would first spend $200-300 on a pair of astronomical binoculars, see how much time you spend observing with these and if you want to get more serious.

I could see Jupiter's moons with the pair I looked though. If you go to highland Park on Wednesday nights (I think) you'll be able to see different telescopes.

You can check one out at the main Baton Rouge library if you want to try one before buying.
