Some good advice here.
If you are purely visual alt az mounts are the way to go. The GPS versions. You turn them on, they work out where they are and off they go - so impressive.
8 inch shows heaps. 11 inch showed a lot. My Celestron 11 inch would have been around the 35kg band possibly a tad more and was about as large as you want to go for portability. Perhaps a Meade 12 inch - there are plenty here that use them so perhaps someone can chime in here about Meade 12 inch as to its portability. I would have thought it would be at the outer edge of portability.
I had a Celestron Nexstar 11 GPS. They are about 5 to 6 years old now.
