i would take a walk into bintel melbourne and have a look at a 8" dob.

check it out for weight for carrying outdoors and indoors. $600 should get you a good dob and necessary accessories.

The guys at bintel melbourne are very good and will help a heap. it you do decide to go with a 8" dob from bintel, get them to shoe you how to collimate the scope.

I would not worry about a tripod (ie telescope mount) at this stage.
