60-80mm refractor for overseas trip in less than 2 weeks!

I'm heading overseas soon and fancy taking a small and light scope that will work on a camera tripod. Although I already have a 66mm ED refractor I prefer not to take that one.

Option 1

80mm f/5 achro with rings or built-in dovetail. Other accessories such as finder, diagonal, etc. not so important as I have these already. A 2" focuser would be highly regarded as it would allow me to use my filters.

Option 2

An ED scope of 60-72mm such as a SharpStar 60ED, etc.

Please PM me if you have something.

An option would be to pick up an Evostar ED72. Pretty cheap travel scope.

Not a bad idea but I'm a cheapskate and want to buy used.
