Many thanks for all the posts guys, this gives me some much needed perspective on the matter - great beginner posts also Chris.

I'm actually pretty surprised on the low cost of these 8" dobs - this might seem like the way to go to get things started as the investment is fairly low.

An uncle of mine is also lending me his telescope so that I can get a bit of a feel for it, I'm going to be picking it up this weekend however I have no idea what model it is, he said he paid about $1200 for it about 8 years ago, hopefully it's something decent.

Another question: do telescopes come with the built in camera for photography, or do you have to install your own camera for this?
