No idea what telescope to buy...

Hi all, first post here so go easy on me

After many years I've finally decided to follow my heart and get a telescope, now I have a budget of $700-$1000 max, and I do have an idea of what I'd like to be able to do.
Must be able to observe and photograph the moon
observe and photograph some of the planets, Saturn in particular.

My question is would I be able to take (semi)decent photos of the moon and some planets with a 8" dobsoninan and a digital camera? Something good enough to have blown up and put on a wall?

or maybe something like this? http://www.ozscopes.com.au/telescope...tor-drive.html

Thanks in advance.
