Take a look at this telescope. It comes with a computer object finder which becomes functional after you align it with 2 very bright stars. Its database contains thousands of objects that you can punch in and the telescope will move to that specific spot in the sky that it should be in (provided it's been aligned correctly).

I am getting ready to leave for class now, and I need to prepare for my astronomy final exam tomorrow, and I can go into further detail if you want. But this is definitely one to take a look at. As an added bonus it's one of Skyandtelescope's hot products of 2010 (means it's very good.)

I suggest taking a look at the video gallery and customer reviews, they're quite helpful and sometimes customer reviews have photos taken with the product!

That sounds perfect! Definitely at the top of the list. Do you think it'll be good for taking long exposures as well?

Hope your exam went okay as well mate.
