What telescope to choose as an amateur.

Hi, I have just started getting back into astronomy. I received a Tasco Galaxee when I was a kid and have now started using it again. I have been mainly looking at the moon as it is not powerful enough to view any planets in detail. I am looking into purchasing a new telescope to both observe and take photos through. I have a budget of about $1500. What would be the best telescope I could get in that price range that would allow me to see planets, galaxies and nebulas etc.
Also any thoughts or reviews on the SkyWatcher Black Diamond 10" Collapsible Dobsonian?
Cheers.
