The LX90 in an 8inch is an awesome portable scope that will do well in most conditions. Yes, they are a full go to scope. Very easy to use.:)

You can get 2" SCT diagonals that will clear the forks on an LX90.(need a balance rail/weights as well).

LX90 is a good, portable scope. Celestron Nexstar SE is more portable but less stable. Another option is the Ioptron Mini-Tower with a Meade or Celestron ota.
