Also I am thinking in the CPC series 9,25 or 8 inches.

Thanks

Hi:

Any of these telescope is easily transported and assembled by one
(average) person. The 9.25 is probably the easiest, since it can be
broken down into tube/mount/tripod. The GEM mount is probably the most
difficult for beginners to get going. The CPC, of all three probably
has the best balance of ease of transport and ease of setup/use.
