hi all, my first post on the discussion forum
for camping? from my experience -something sealed, something short. It keeps the kicked-up dust out of the tube, and packs easy. The intended viewing targets would then determine whether you're after a wide field refractor or a MAK/SCT for lunar/planetary viewing. My C5 on an eq2 has travelled with me many a time -certainly compact enough to travel overseas to eclipses. Great light gathering, great on moon and planets -and good for bird watching if they stay still
