Miss OTS wants a telescope for Christmas, we've had a couple of cheap ones in the past, but struggled with getting them pointed at the things she wants to see.
So I'm thinking something like this
Skywatcher SKYHAWK 1145P AZ-GO2 Computerised WiFi GOTO Telescope
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/144635199093
or this
Celestron StarSense Explorer LT 114AZ Reflector Telescope

Thoughts?
Someone asked this a couple of weeks ago. Hang on.
£300 for a telescope? That's astronomical.
Maybe you should look into it more.

As Rodney would say, Cosmic. 😂
Have a look on the WEX website, they seem to have a good range between your budget & (well) over.
I've got the mount /tripod that comes with Skywatcher SKYHAWK it's ok need a kettle bell on the little table to stop judder.
Just to circle back on this. I've blown the budget and gone for this 🤦🏻♂️

Happy viewing. And when you do come to view I recommend the book Turn Left at Orion for ideas of what to go hunting for in the skies.
You will need the power converter it eats batterys.
I've got 240v to 12v stepdown gag lighter type thing
