Newie looking for portable telescope

Hi,

I know this has been asked a few times and the 8" dob is highly recommended for beginners however I have a back injury and I am unable to lift a complete dob and move it around.

I also have limited storage space so I am looking for a telescope that I can easily store in the garage when not in use and I also want to be able to take it with me when I go camping but I know I'll have to compromise.

Looking to be able to view planets in enough detail to make out features but also see DSO.

I have set a budget of about $700.

I have seen a skywatcher 150x750 reflector with an eq3 mount. Is this a good one to suit the above criteria?

Any recommendations?

thanks
Michael
