Hi again Chris, just to add I have the Heritage 130 that Carlton mentions (he makes good points in his comments) and I'm very happy with it. Good value for the price. When collapsed, which takes only seconds the scope and mount takes up about 46cm x 36cm x 36 space. Has a carry handle to carry all as one piece and set up in seconds. Optics are very good. The helical focuser needs a bit of plumbers tape on the threads (dont worry it works pretty good and all users do this) and I have made my own light shroud out of 3mm black foam sheet. This makes a big difference too and is easy. I imagine the 150 would be a good step up from the 130 and would be excellent too. The mount has a dovetail attatchment too so your ST80 would fit on it too. I actually have my little vixen vmc95 on the dob mount and the 130 OTA on my Vixen porta 11 mount.
Cheers, Richard
