Whats the best telescope for a beginner?

When I say beginner, I mean a scientist that knows how to learn and wants to pick up the astronomy hobby, not an idiot. I only clarify, because in a google search for "best beginner telescope" I only find shit for kids/tards.

Budget's about 500 bucks, could be more, I don't know. I don't want to buy something to replace in a year kind of a deal. Thinking astrophotography might be the direction I want to go.
