Bob,

The dob would get my vote. Easy to set up and can be moved in bits , if necessary, but if you put it on a trolley then there is no lifting.

BEFORE you buy anything get a long to a viewing night of the local astro society and have a look at the size and weight of these beasts. Maybe an 8" dob would be a great instrument for you..........

Keep looking up and push the General Manager for BOTH the fishing trip and scope, tell her you are saving money on the dob so there is now money for the extra eyepieces AND the fishing trip
