I note however that you state that you would want to transport it in the boot of a car. That might be a problem. What sort of car in particular?

A honda legend 1989 model to be exact. Though it has the boot space of any decent family car. Nothing the size of a dob, it would fit but I wouldn't feel comfortable lobbing the thing around all that often.

Let's work out the type of scope that you want to buy first, before we give any advice on accessories.

If what I've read so far is correct, it looks like a refractor or reflector telescope might be best given I will be viewing from my backyard most of the time. It seems that it deals with light the best. While there isn't much, I do live behind some shops that generate quite a bit of it. If thats the case, I may end up choosing the 130EQ over an 8" dobson. However I'm still not sure!
