Hi Truscott!

May I offer a suggestion contrary to what you say in the quote above. I am thinking maybe 2 scopes.
If you work in such a dark place I believe it would be great to have a good GoTo and to leave it there instead of transporting it all the time. Then buy a cheap 8" Dob for viewing when you are at home. The 8" dobs are only about $399 I think. And they are pretty good optically.

1. No transporting back and forth.
2. An excellent scope at a dark sight
3. A dob at home to learn the sky
