Aperture is king - so keeping it simple is a great way to improve aperture.

A Dobsonian is the simplest and easiest machine to use and it has the biggest mirror per dollar - it is an observing scope and is not much cop for photography, but you can photo the moon and planets on zero tracking so you could get quite reasonable shots anyway.

It is a great starter and often as much as most people need - because some of those bigger dobs are amazing. Try one of these for size - maybe out of your price range at the moment, but who knows after the lottery ?
