I'll be ordering a Skywatcher 10" Black Diamond collapsible dob. Seems like the best balance of price, portability, usability. And it turns out you can do a little imaging with such a beast, as long as you are quite clear of the limitations involved. (Long exposures, for example, are out. Planets, at least Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, are quite do-able).
Thanks for all your advice and support!
