Hi David and Welcome!!!
If you are going to go into Astrophotography of Deep Space stuff you will need a mount with tracking capabilities.
If you want to look at Deep Space but only photograph planets and moon you would get away with using a Dob to keep the cost down. That way you can get a bigger scope for less dollars.
Astronomy is a very enjoyable hobby for kids unless they use poor equipment. Then they lose interest quickly.
Do you live in a fairly dark site? If you do, a smallish GoTo may be the answer.
