Any good for first scope?

Hi all,

My name is Jeremy and I reign from a small town called Garfield, about 80km east of Melbourne

Recently, I have become obsessed with astronomy and all things space.

For the past few months I've been exploring the solar system with a pair of Saxon 16x50 bincoulars and I've been having an absolute blast.

I think its time that I make the jump to a telescope and I've been shopping around.

The household financial controller has given me a budget of $550 so I am somewhat limited to what I can buy...

I think I may have narrowed it down to one telescope, but I'd love some expert advice...

I'd like to look at solar system objects and also some brighter DSO's.

I also have a Nikon D5600 DSLR, would I be able to take photos of the moons and planets with this scope? I'm not really interested in Astrophotography but if the scope allows it, I'd probably take a photo or two.

Anyway, enough rambling on. Here is the link

Kindest regards,
