Sub,

When you say you want your scope to be portable, and that a dob is not practical to your current living situation, what do you mean?

A dob in the 8-10 inch range is very portable in a sedan, is easy to carry, and sets up easily either at home or at an alternative observing location. Its size, when in storage, is really no larger than an EQ set-up.

I had a 10 inch SCT before I got my current set up. That is also quite easy to set up, but is heavier to manage than a 10" dob. An SCT is far easier to use for imaging than a dob.
