Hi Inertia,

I have the 14" goto Dob. It stands at 970 mm high when retracted. I cannot fit it in the front seat of my (admittedly quite small) Alfa Mito.

When used for observing the eyepiece is always within my height (182 cm), though when at zenith it is only just.

The focuser on mine is a 10:1, and is quite nice.

I can fit this scope into my car, see attached pictures, also attached is a picture of my daughter standing next to the scope (she's 163 cm tall).

Cheers
Stuart
