What about something like this:

Although that one is already sold, they come up on the forum from time to time.
It's small enough to be portable (especially if mounted on a simple alt-az mount) yet still has some aperture for decent views. It's probably not ideal for deep-sky astrophotography at f10 but still might allow that option with a focal-reducer (& eq mount of course).
