That's what I thought. We can definately do the 10" as the cost of it, a good eyepiece, external power and some other bits and bobs is still well under what I'd put away for the telescope. The local club that we're members of do monthly dark sky nights on member's properties outside of town...something that after doing more reading last night will greatly benefit the 10". It still makes it pretty manouverable as it will come straight out of the garage - and looking at the dimensions it will still fit in the X-trail.
Might have another cuppa and then make a call
