Get a refractor. That way he can look and land based objects too without them being upside down. Also, make sure you get the normal alt/azm mount rather than the equtorial mount. I'm just getting into astronomy, and the equtorial mount isn't easy to figure out.
Binoculars would be good to, but if I wanted a telescope an got binoculars, I'd be pissed off.
Get him the Starry night program for the computer too.
