Some of the Makusov-Caselgrain hybrids are very nice and portable. One of my scopes is a 127mm MC with equitorial and slew that's perfect for johhny-on-the-spot viewing and it's great to travel with. Setup is about 7 min. It's the cooldown that's the time sink. :-)

ThinkinGal, Glad to be an activated fuzzball and nice to see you again.

Yeah, I gotta get a computerized scope, this one I have is good, but I have never been able to get it balanced correctly enough to follow the stars correctly, plus, you have to set the Lattitude on it manually, using a screw. But, its 1980 technology.

As for the comet, we have been raining and flooding all week here in Phoenix, not good enough to bring out the scope.
