Hello Tyrone, If you are looking at doing visual [observing], and maybe some basic photography, then an 8" Dobsonian is a great starting point, good amount of aperture, and not too heavy. If you want to do some simple snapping, then make sure that the scope you get can come to focus when a DSLR camera is attached to the focuser. All Skywatcher ones will be fine, but if buying another brand ask the seller if his scope does have enough back focus to allow the attachment of a camera.
If you want to move into more serious photography straight away, then
anyone here wanting to help you will need more info, such as what kind of targets you had in mind, and what sort of budget you have to work with.
