HI
I picked up a 12" Lightbridge Dob a few weeks ago and it all fits in the back seat of my Camry-base and optics. A solid tube 12" will need a bigger car but a truss tube or flex tube should be fine. Check the dimensions of the flex tube beforehand when it is collapsed if going for the 12" version.
Fot photography except for the moon and planets as stated you need an equatorial mount. These will cost as much and more than a basic Dobsonian
