Simple, no fiddling, quick easy set up.
Reasonable light gathering aperture.
Easy accurate Goto and tracking.
Compact and easy to store.

Answer=Celestron CPC 9.25 (IMHO)

I previously had the 11inch version (CPC1100). Better light gathering ...But this may be a little heavy for some people. The 9.25 is a nice compromise.

It does not need to be polar aligned in Alt/Az mode (which is default).
It comes with GPS so you do not need to enter any date time lat/long.

It sure sounds like the solution to your question.

(Meade also have similar scopes, but I do not have experience with them)
