Hi, I would avoid that scope if I were you, it's liable to turn you off astronomy more than pull you into it.
The most affordable worthwhile scope out there at the moment (imho) is the AWB Onesky.
If your budget doesn't amount to that much, I would recommend finding either a pair of decent 10x50 binoculars attached to a cheap tripod with a Barska Adapter
Alternatively you might be able to find a used 4 or 6" dobsonian for under $150.
The best beginners book on backyard astronomy is definitely Nightwatch, and it should be followed by the more in depth Turn Left at Orion
Hope that helps!
Oops, I ignorantly assumed you were in the US. And yeah, they're only $90 here. They're high quality binoculars, but $200 is definitely a bit steep. It's a shame most binoculars I'm familiar with seem to be vastly more expensive in Canada.
Hm, these Orion E-Series 10x50's could be an option. They're sealed to be waterproof/dustproof, but not fogproof. Sharp & clear optics, plenty of eye relief to be used with glasses (I've tried them myself), and the same wide field of view.
There might something cheaper that's equally as good, but I'm not sure.
Thanks, I ended up buying these binoculars:

alongside this tripod:

and the adapter listed in that thread. Hoping they all work out!
