Quite why anyone would want to carry a telescope around with them is open to question but we are a diverse species and I suspect that someone, somewhere may well find it impossible to leave home without a telescope secreted on their person - be it either to stare up at the moon every half hour (perhaps so as to feel at one with the universe) or to get a quick glance at Mrs. Smith at number 44.
Whatever the motive, this compact, rocket shaped shoulder bag telescope from Tasco is surely this year’s must have fashion accessory for keen voyeurs astronomers on the move – just remove the top of the rocket shaped unit, insert the supplied eye piece and stare in wonder at Mrs Smith the Moon in glorious 30X magnification.
Alternatively you could always buy a real telescope that isn’t shaped like a red rocket, isn’t made from ABS plastic and offers an altogether more reasonable and wholly more practical degree of magnification - but think how suspicious you’d look carrying a telescope around with you wherever you go. No, we’d much rather be known for carrying a red rocket shaped shoulder bag telescope around with us – it’s so much less conspicuous, wouldn’t you agree?
The Tasco Red Rocket Shoulder Bag Telescope retails at ¥9800 excluding tax and shipping (approx $81 /€60 /£41) and further details can be obtained from this online outlet.

For the astronomer on the go?
The astronomer on the go? this comment confuses me as I cannot help but think that you might want me to list everything that the astronomer on the go may need, so here goes:
Some bottled water, a tin of baked beans, a flare for emergencies….
Of course it could be that you are confused about the sentence in question - and this is not quite as easy to resolve as it makes sense to me in the same way that us getting involved in the Iraq situation doesn’t.
