12" GSO Newtonian - for Planetary
From one astrophotography newbie to another, the 12" GSO dob isnt too bad for planetary photography, but be prepared to spend a fair bit of time chasing the object (especially if using barlows) as it tends to leave the FOV pretty quickly...

Check out Mike Salway's (IIS i.d iceman) article on Astrophography with a dob:

Good luck
