Orion Telescope and Binoculars - http://www.telescope.com - good selection of cheap-to-moderate scopes, decent quality.
First Telescope - http://www.first-telescope.com/ - all scopes under $500.
Astronomics - http://www.astronomics.com/ - parent of First Telescope, a good full-line telescope dealer.

If you have no telescope then make use of the internet.You can see all the pictures you want from there.Although a telescope would be much more exiting.I have always wanted a telescope but couldn't get one.I made use of my binoculars since then.

Start with binoculars. You'll be surprised at how much great stuff you can see: globular clusters, nebulae, etc. And since they're light and portable, you'll use them a lot more often than you would a telescope. Get a book on binocular astronomy; I like the one by Patrick Moore. Get a pair of 10x50 binoculars with a porro prism design and "fully multi-coated" optics. You can get a high quality pair for under $200. I like my Minolta.

The largest telescopes for the money are reflectors. Dobsonion Reflectors are very reasonable.Orion.com and astronomics.com are both excellent places to start looking.
