Hi Anthony,
I don't have one, but a friend has the 12".
It is centre spotted, and a very good scope.
Views are excellent, it's also easy to transport and set up.
Here's an image of my friend with scope on the morning after a great (but COLD) observing night.:D
It does need a shroud, dew heaters and a dew/light shield.

do need a fan also besides the dew heater? anthony

Anthony,

it will almost certainly come with a fan, but you will need a power supply.

Cheers, :thumbsup:

Anthony,
I forgot to mention that the Skywatcher scopes come WITHOUT a fan.
Along with the other important accessories that I mentioned previously, this is a vital addition.
An 80mm computer fan will do nicely.:thumbsup:
