Morton, something else to consider -Tal. A mate has the 8" version. It astounds me how stubby and portable that thing is (small being one of your requirements). I'd swear it's half the length of a fellow 8" SCT. More importantly, that short tube does great things with cool down times (Macs are not forgiving there). Also, the Russians are on to something with the 'Kletskov' (sp?) design. It's a real performer. Very fine detail for planetary viewing.
