if a 8" dob OTA is a bit big fer ya then as already stated a meade lightbridge truss might be better... I am guessing that this will still take up considerable room. maybe a 8" mak? you get the long focal length but in half the space. they are fairly expensive tho... once again it comes down to your budget.
and welcome aboard
