Please Help

Ok,

Before I begin I know this question has been asked god knows how many times, but I am wanting answers for myself so I no what path to take,

Ok I have been into photography for maybe 3/4 months now and all I have been taking pictures of is the moon and the night sky as there is just something about it that makes me smile, I spoke to a colleague of mine and was told I should buy a telescope as you can see a lot more with that and also once I strap on my DSLR canon 60D I will get some amazing photos "so I have been told"

I'm really interested in taking detailed shots of the moon + filming its craters with the Full HD video recorder built into my DSLR, Also id love to take pictures of Deep space "if I can" and (Jupiter , Mars , Saturn etc.)

I have been looking at a few Telescopes and still have no clue what to get as I don't no if its better to go with a telescope that has a BIG (Aperture and Focal Length or does that stuff not matter) ???

Please help as I am only looking at spending around $500-$600 on my first scope, Also should I buy separate Barlow Eye pieces also or just use what I get at first??

Kind Regards

Shane
