Let me put it this way: If you do get serious about this hobby, and especially the photography side, you will end up spending so much money on accessories that the cost of the scope will be insignificant.

So don't stress about buying the scope that will go the distance at the moment. If you go the distance, either an 8,10 or 12" Dob will be fine. And you'll enjoy either one without spending big on accessories. 8" is an absolute bargain. But if the scope will stay in the one place get the biggest aperture you can afford, that's 10 or 12". But if you do not live under dark skies then you will want to take your scope to some occasionally.
