new to astronomy

hi all.
great site. been interested in stargazing forever, its a real buzz thinking about the dimensions and absolute brute force of events happening in space. and the time scale..wow. but a cosmic micro second is longer then the entire history of mankind.
anyway, im getting into this now, playing with cars and electronics seems to be eating all my spare time(after family of course). i can do this with the missus and kids, think they`ll love it. ive never had a decent scope, just ****ty harris scarfe stuff and wotnot. so im gonna buy a decent rig so im not dissapointed, might have a go at some photography later. after some research, i have dicided to go for something like this.http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Skywatche...item2c60d52e9d

i really want to have good detail of the moon surface, and some deeper stuff like planetary rings etc. do you think this is up to the task?
cheers,
ken.
