A good tracking mount is mandatory, I agree with Tony that a HEQ5 pro ($700 s/h or $1200 new) is a good starting mount. You can use any mount that has a motor drive but lower end mounts are harder to work with. As for telescopes shorter focal length scopes are easier to set up and control without expensive add on accessories. Many would say a ED 80 refractor is the easiest starter scope. If you are more keen, a 8" f5 newtonian will be better for capturing more deep space objects.
