Before you purchase any new equipment, you might already have what you need to get you started.
The images I've posted here have been taken through my 10" Dob using my old Panasonic digital video camera and my Canon Powershot.
For the planets I used the Panasonic with a 12.5mm EP and a 2x barlow lens, then butt the cameras lens up to the EP, focus the telescope then start recording your .avi's.
I've also used the video function on the Canon Powershot to capture .avi's as well but with less success.
The moon was imaged through a 30mm ep using the Canon Powershot S3IS.
It's worth having a go.
