For general viewing a goto mount makes finding objects quite easy. There are two types of goto mounts equatorial and alt/azm. The easiest to set up is the modern alt/azm as they are almost automatic now. Equatorial mounts are much harder to set up but are best for photography.
What you can get depends on how much you can spend. The cheaper ones that seem to be disappearing from the catalogues are usually not very reliable. However you should be able to pick up a good S/H 8" of the LX 90 type for around $1000
