Grab and Go Set up advice

Hi IIS'ers

I have a GEM EdgeHD 9.25 but am finding that i am not using as much as i like because i need to pack away every time due to storage space.

So i am looking for a small set up for those clear evenings when i can nip out on the drive for an hour or two.

I am thinking of getting the Orion ED80T CF and mounting it on a Skywatcher STAR DISCOVERY goto alt-azimuth mount.

I want a compact set up for visual mostly at home or camping, maybe AP in the future but my skills are nit their just yet (Maybe never based on my initial foray into AP)

Any comments or advice welcome.

Cheers
Ben

Depending on what your budget is there is currently a Televue 60 on the Classifieds which would serve as both a really nice grab and go plus it is more than capable for future wide field work.
As much as I would love to purchase it at the moment, I have other expenses that currently need my attention
