Well, it's not that simple but you do have a point Starkler - but he did say imaging/ccd stuff so tracking is really a requirement. I have to say that myself and a friend put an Autostar system onto a 20" dob last year (that was fun ) and it was awesome to use - at f/3.8 it was awesome to look through as well!

But it most definitely was *not* portable. My 12" LX200 wasn't either. I wouldn't consider the 10" as totally portable either but it's getting there. I'd prolly suggest a decent EQ mount and one of the 8 or 10 inch SCT OTA's in this case. Gives one more options for the future as you are not nailed down to one OTA.
