The 8" dobsonian will let you take moon & planet pics, though you will need to use a webcam or ccd (digital cameras aren't really suited to this)
A 6" maksutov will do a good job of this also thelonger focal length will help when webcamming the moon & planets (nb it's hard to get all the moon in with one of these scopes)-there are one or 2 good 6" sct or mak in the classifieds here.
Driven mount is the other thing you need to think of for either scope, both scopes will give decent views in n urban environ
