Thanks for all the responses guys,
I've been looking around, and I found a company that sells AGM deep cycle batteries for what seems to be pretty cheap. I'm currently considering this:

I know it's only 7AH, but I'm only planning on running the telescope from it, and I'm looking for portability more than anything; any bigger and it starts to get unwieldy. What are your thoughts on this?
I've also been looking at the Calibre 12V Battery box from Super Cheap Auto, to put the battery in. Does anyone have any experience with this, and its suitability? (

Finally, a bit of a noob question. What is the best way for me to recharge the battery when it gets low? Are there adapters that I can get that I just plug into the wall to charge the battery? If so, any suggestions on where I can get these and what the best one is?
I'm only a lowly student, so my budget is more $$ than $$$$$$. I don't really want to end up spending more than $150 all up if I can help it.
Thanks again
