I recently started my university course at monash, including a unit in astronomy. This rekindled my life long love of the stars, and when i looked into it i realised i could now afford a fairly cheap telescope. After looking through a couple of stores and a few websites i found what i thought to be a good value scope for my price range. (Im on youth allowance $220 a fortnight and i dont need to spend a lot of it) But i wouldnt want to spend too much more than $350

Im no stranger to technology or the R.A dec system, so i dont think the equitorial mount will be a problem. I would like to take photos, will this be able to be done with a standard digital camera like advertised?
My biggest interests lie in looking at planets and larger bodies (nebula and such). Will this be a large enough apeture for this?
I guess what im asking is if any of you know of any better value sites or stores out there, or if this will satisfy my needs.
