There's an old saying in professional photography circles when discussing equipment: "the money goes into the glass" -- meaning, the optical components. This is true for telescopes as well, but many are enticed by all the modern electronic gadgetry available on modern telescopes at the expense of the optical system.
There are many optically great used telescopes that are overlooked and undervalued, because they don't have the latest control features. Many of these "go-to" telescopes promise to point to whatever you like just by selecting it from a list, but setup can still be difficult. Unless they are very expensive, they usually provide lackluster views.
The ability of these "go-to" telescopes to move themselves is actually secondary to knowing what the telescope is pointed at, and which directions you need to move the scope in order to see what you want to see. The installation of a computer interface that allows this "push-to" capability may be easier than you think.
In this presentation, Ric Honey shows you what's involved in doing this for Dobsonian and Equatorial mounts, and where to look for the hardware needed to do so.
From the February 7, 2020 Memphis Astronomical Society Meeting.
