I'm heading over to Fiji next week with my sister and I'm really looking forward to getting a peek at parts of the Northern sky that I can't see from home.

I'll be taking along my camera, tripod and lappy, (as you do}, so I can take some wide fields.
But now I'm thinking, should I take my little blue Cube and 80mm scope along too? It only weighs a few kilos, and it would fit into my suitcase. It runs on AA batteries so I won't have to worry about power.
I've already been called a geek for taking the lappy.

Is bringing along the mount and scope going just that little bit too far?
