If it's your first scope then 14-16 may actually be too large. I would personally recommend you look at an 8-10 inch for starters. You could actually then go for a goto dob which will help you find those difficult objects.
I have heard that novices that go for the big scope off the bat can have a rather bad experience. This leads to a pretty short lived astronomy hobby
