Looking for options. My requirements:
1. Backpack portable
2. Easy to set up
3. Easiest possible GPS autoallignment
4. Less than $500 if possible

Hi

Backpack portable is going to limit your choices, big time. About all we carry that qualifies is the Meade ETX80BB.

And my choices with something a little larger, but still easily transportable?

Hi

Larger and portable are mutually exclusive if you define portable as something you can put in a backpack. No way you are going to get any larger scope and mount in a backpack.

Well, I am talking about something larger than backpack sized, but I had better call you directly rather than playing tag in this thread.
