Thank you all for your answers. The 4SE seems like the better option for us,  hopefully my son will agree.

Hello, I hope I've found the right place. I want to buy a telescope for my son for Christmas, he is 15 years old, quite passionate about technology and astronomy, but I got lost in the multitude of options. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of time to do proper research, so until now I've been looking at articles/reviews and I think the best options (in our budget) are Celestron 4SE or Celestron 100AZ. Here it says that 4SE is the better option but here it says that it needs many accessories and then I was thinking maybe it's better to start with something else. Does anyone have a 4SE? Would it work as a beginner option or should I look for something simpler?
