Do you have any kit already?

Even the ST80 would be hugely out of your budget. The OTA alone is £97 (c$150). Add a mount and your closer $200.

This would be under $100

This would be better but over budget, around $140.

Obviously I don't know about local prices to you.

The question refers to an accessory kit if I understand correctly.

Syed, tell us for what telescope do you need accessories as there may be other better option. These kits are really low end and I would not recommend them.

Instead, off the top of my head, I would recommend a basic 8-24 zoom and a 2x barlow as a starter kit, but do give us more details to work on  :grin:

The Revelation kit looks a nice starter set. Unfortunately it is advertised at 100 pounds by an English supplier, and the OP lives in India, and is asking for a reccomendation priced below 100 dollars, so presumably wants something priced (including P&P) somewhat cheaper.

I realise that coulthamst but I am unfamiliar with indian websites exchange rates etc so rather than say nothing I offered the best information I could, maybe the op can find the equivalent where they live or arrange for overseas delivery.
