Astronomy and space exploration

Off the chance some of you might help, I'm planning buying my first telescope, 8''+ mirror.
What to look for, any recommendations up to around £500? New or 2nd hand.
It will be used with a camera, mobile or human attached to it.
Many thanks in advance!
 
Arecibo Observatory is going to be demolished, after it had been damaged by cables snapping. Such an iconic place. Seems like a real shame. Sounds like the science it was doing is not funded to the levels that would allow something new to be built.

It's a true pity. :cry:
 
On the bright side Puerto Rico gets a new skateboard park :D
