I generally use a binocular when there isn't room for much else. However on longer trips away with the family I like to take the TV60 with a porta mount. It can be quite useful for nature watching as well as a bit of astro.
The trouble with a scope is that even if the scope is tiny and compact, the mount rarely is. The porta mount can be squeezed under the car seat once the head is removed from the tripod.
