How can you get bored finding stuff? To me, goto is boring! The thrill of finding stuff yourself is a pretty good feeling. If I just punched in some coordinates into a telescope to find an object, I think I would have been bored years ago lol. This is just my personal opinion though. If it were me, knowing what I know now, I would get the scope with the biggest aperture according to your budget...forget goto. You can get a 12" reflector on a dob for about the grand mark...But then I see you wanna get into photography as well. Usually an Equatorial mount is best for that, although you CAN motorize a dob for photography....at a cost.
Perhaps David Pretorious could advise you further, being in roughly the same predicament/circumstance as you at the moment. Your going to get a flood of varied comments shortly, I'd say lol.
