new scope recommendation

Hi all,

I've been wandering around this site for a while, but just decided to join now. In December i decided to get myself a Celestron Astromaster 130EQ. It was great and all, but I wanted to do more. I purchased that mainly because i wanted to learn to navigate manually, which i think is important for any beginner.

Lately i was thinking of going further with this hobby - not now, but perhaps later this year. I am going to get a decent DSLR camera soon, and was hoping i can use it for beginner astrophotography too. So i am looking for a telescope that can (1) mount the dslr and take sky photos, (2) can connect/control to my computer, (3) possibly bit smaller so it's easy to take outside.

Any thoughts? I don't have a budget in mind yet, as I am still looking for the usual range. TIA. This site is wonderful.
