A HEQ5 and an 8" Newtonian might be worth looking at. Decent aperture but fits comfortably on the back seat of a small car Would give nice astroshots too.

Doh !, just saw your last post. 10" dob is a good choice. I have hardly used my C11 CGE since I got my 12" Lightbridge. Can't beat low cost aperture

It arrived today, I've set it up and had a play around. Unfortunately Adelaide is sitting under a blanket of clouds at the moment.
But what I have seen is amazing had a bit of a peak at mars, it looks like it's on fire!

Can't wait to take it out of the city and stay up all night

Thanks everyone for their advice, and thanks to John (astromaniac) for selling me the scope
