Beginner telescope suggestions (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I'm planning to go to a rural spot that has a Bortle class 3 night sky around Southern California. Can anyone recommend a beginner friendly telescope with decent magnification for around $200? I'm not interested in using an accompanying smart phone app to go with it either. I'd like to see nebulae and galaxies the most. Thank you.

This is a really great suggestion! I know many libraries do have telescopes for rent. It's definitely worth checking!
