If you want to take any photos of the sky, the telescope, or kind of telescope, isn't really as important as the mount.
You could, just buy a mount specifically for taking widefield shots of the night sky, for example

If you want to take long exposures of planets, or deep sky objects (DSO's) then a better quality/higher load rated equatorial mount is going to be the starting point.

Then, the choice of telescope comes into play. Bang for buck, reflector telescopes provide the most light gathering ability per dollar. Refractor scopes are much more expensive for the same kind of aperture. The pros and cons of each one are outside my area of expertise.
If all you want to do is look at objects in our night sky, a reflector telescope is a popular choice and range from simple manual dobsonian mounts through to expensive computerised fork mounted reflector scopes.
