New and need help re Mount/tripod

Hi,
I am just getting back into astronomy after a long time and would like some advice on what is the best mount to buy. I want to buy a new refractor telescope (I'm thinking about 120mm) but at the moment trying to find out as much as I can about the mounts. I want something easy to use ... don't want GoTo .. don't want to have a heap of cables etc attached if that can be avoided. I will be just viewing at first but may want to take some photographs in future so want to be prepared for that. If I do get into astro photography it will just be with my Canon DSLR and an adapter so I was thinking to get an equitorial mount that can track whatever it is I want to photograph. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks very much for any help you can offer
Hope I am in the right area to ask this!!!?
