Hi Mark. I have owned the mk67, mn56, and currently an Intes Micro 615. The best for planetary and wide field is the mak-newt, due to the smaller obstruction and fast focal ratio, but it is about 34' long and weighs about 16 pounds. If your looking for airline carry-on portability, and binoviewer use, The best compromise for me is the Intes micro 615. It has a smaller obstruction than the mk66 or67 and is still only 18' long and about 10 pounds. Ramon
