Advice on small planets/Moon telescope.

Hello,
I have a back patio full of light pollution, is not good for DSO, it have a very poor contrast for this objects, .
Then, I am interested in a good quality telescope, small and portable ( I have two small observing zones)with no too much weight..for my back!!
I think taht a good small maksutoc or SC can be an OK telescope for my purposes, I did : the Moon and big planets, maybe Venus and Mars opposition, Sun with some filter.
I like know your opinion on this theme, I have thinking the a Nexstar 4SE, a SC 5" Celestron or a ETX 125 can be good contenders.
Thank you in advance

Paul, Skywatcher makes a pretty nice 150mm Maksutov for a reasonable price if you have a mount you can put it on.

Lots of astronomers like 4" refractors for lunar and planetary observing. I can't argue with unobstructed aperture. However, I find myself gravitating toward 6" Maksutovs or Schmidt Cassegrains because they are so compact and give a noticeable increase in brightness and resolution. If you're confident you'll be observing the moon and planets only then you might consider a simple, light weight, alt-az mount, too. A small equatorial mount with a single axis drive (battery powered), would also be light and quickly set-up. It would provide tracking for convenient high-powered viewing.
