Best I have is the spotting scope version of the Meade 4" SCT, with a sturdy camera tripod. It is small enough to put in a backpack and travel long distances on foot. Originally I bought it to take to solar eclipses by plane, and its probably still an ideal solution for that. The mirrors need recoating now, however.
Tried 15 x 70 binocs but not enough - we're more into the moon and planets. Soon after I bought an ED102 f/7 refractor with an altaz mount - this has seen a fair bit of use on casual weekends away - quick to pack, quick to assemble, and it still leaves enough room in the boot for luggage for 3 people on a camping trip.
