Planets are among the most challenging objects because of their small angular size. There are no "cheap" telescopes adequate for viewing planets. You need an aperture of at least 150mm for satisfactory views of planets, such as this Newtonian on a Dobsonian mount. The Andromeda Galaxy is very large, and is best viewed in binoculars from a dark sky site.

Yes, you will still wind up with a cheap, crappy telescope. Do indeed double your budget and get a better quality, "cheap" telescope. Telescopes are very much a "get what you pay for" item. Go cheap, and then expect cheap results.

Just watch on Night Skies Network where amateurs with expensive scopes broadcast views nightly and some day times from around the world.

You can see most planets with your eyes, but to see detail on planets, the larger telescope you have the better. The larger the front mirror the more light the mirror collects and the more you can see out there. For planets, high magnification is also desirable. It depends on how much detail you want to see on the planets. Just buy the biggest telescope you can easily move around and afford.
