G'day DJ, and welcome.

I thought a 10" dob IS a grab and go.

No set-up time, no polar alignment needed. Just plop it down and it's ready. Oh well.

If you intend on changing to another smaller scope like a small Mak or similiar, consider the time it will take to polar align every time you want to use it. If you find that the ease of a 10" dob is a hassle, an EQ mounted scope will quickly find you wanting to use the dob again.

Both the scopes you mention above are on EQ mounts!!!

The only easier grab'n'go than a Dob is going to be an Alt/Az mounted small to medium scope.

Good luck in your search.
