Hi Jowel,
Yep, it should fit in the boot of the Hyundai nicely.
As for weight, there is two 5kg counterweights, the tube weighs about 9kg and the mount with the tripod weighs about 20kg. You move it around in bits (take off the counterweights) and its fine. Think of an average size 10 year old boy and that's about how much it weighs all up.
Keep in mind that since I bought it, I have pretty much exclusively used it in my backyard in Kellyville Ridge which has a fair amount of Skyglow from Blacktown and Parramatta, so if you are in the Blue Mountains, I would suggest the sky is much darker and therefore, transport is not going to be done as much.
I just measured the folded tripod which is 1m long, the tube is only 93cm. So you should be fine packing in the boot in some doonas for cushioning (and not scratching it all)
Cheers
Chris
