I'm a newbie too and have made all the mistakes. I'll back Alex's comments 100%. A dob is the best (most cost-effective) visual starter scope by far.
If you want to do visual (looking at the stars), then get a small dob to start. They're easy to sell later when you want to move upwards, too.
That will then give you more time to work out if you want to do photography through the scope, and to ask more info here on that aspect when you're ready.
