That's very strange. I think something must've been amiss with your 12". I saw all six components with my 10" GSO at 104x with direct vision. They literally jumped out at me they were that obvious. That fact that you saw em with the 8" re-inforces the theory that your 12" must have something wrong.

Try this: remove the primary mirror and check if the rubber clips holding it are too tight. If so, place the aluminimum plate thats ontop iof the clips under them and leave a tiny gap, enough to fit a piece of paper between the clip and the mirror face. I did this with my 10" and it seemed to improve the view.
