Hello! I'm New!

I was given a vintage Velbon VGB-32C tri-pod, and after I cleaned it up, it's almost like new! So, I thought, I am decorating my house so I look like a pipe-smoking, world-traveler, Rudyard Kipling type of "Sir." And it occurs to me that an old school metal Telescope, mounted on that tri-pod might seal the deal with some fine young honey one night. Give me a "Science Man" vibe. 

Well, I was hoping some of you guys could recommend a budget option to me--that would actually work well--but be super impressive to the ladies. I'm talking smoking jacket, fake Gatling gun, awesome "science man" telescope, vintage vinyl Hi-Fi; the works! The telescope could be a real conversation starter when I throw heavy-metal vomit party's for my buddies. Thanks for any direction here. Help a young bro get "laid?" 

Awesome. Thanks Again.

P.S. I've only got about 250 bucks to throw at this little project. 
Amazing post. I recommend the bird Jones style telescope as they are very affordable, look sleek and sexy, and make a good conversation piece when wanting to bring up frustration and regret.
