I have just got this 6" dob from Perseid Telescopes this week. It is very portable. Everything (except the poles) can be packed inside the 28 cmx 28 cm x 28 cm cube :) Not to mention his excellent service.

Kayheem:

The scope in the background came to cure my aperture fever. And the 6" dob came later to cure my backpain :) ha ha

The 6" dob costs about S$400.
