If this is your first scope, I recommend getting one without a computer. Scout craigslist for scope under $100. Learn the ropes, feel the sky for your latitude. Any small scope will do. After you gauge your skill and hone in your forte, spend the money on a bigger scope (larger dia). Enjoying the night sky is not about click and see, its about dexterity and patience. Slow and steady is the way to go.
Depending on your location (latitude) you will need to get a planisphere. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0961320745 (30-40 degrees)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0961320753 (40-50 degrees)
Red headlamp to read the Planisphere and other maps/books in the night. The red light reduces eye strain.

After you get good at reading sky maps, locating celestial bodies etc. Spend the money on a jump scope (8" or higher). You will appreciate the quality of Celestron scopes much better. Dont make the the mistake I made of incremental sizes and collection 10 scopes you hardly use. Let the first one be small and non computerized. Then jump to the largest one you can afford.

Edit - You can also use a good smartphone if you get a nice mount for it. Personally, I never had great luck using a phone though.

There are plenty of similar options, but I can only recommend what I own.
