Hi Grant,
What's your budget? Sounds healthy... you could go for the Sky Watcher AZEQ5 at $2K from Bintel and a Sky Watcher 120mm ED refractor.
A bit costly. The Refractor will give wider views than the Mak.
Sky Safari pro version 4 is what I have on my ipad. A very poweful app that does a number of useful things when hooked up to the mount...so much more than a sky map.
