Disabled Newb

I am disabled with a back injury. I have a lot of time on my hands at night from not being able to sleep (pain). Anyway I need some advise on my first scope. I need something that I can hook to my computer and since I am disabled I am on a fixed budget so money is tight. What would be a good scope to get started with and will be easy to use that want break the budget. I would like something in the $500 range. Is this a dead dream?

I would like to look for NEAR objects. lol and save the world or do some deep space photo's

Thanks
Craig
