No Dave, the Hercules would have cost nearly $22000 for a 12" scope. I could not justify that in my head at this stage. I went with an AG12 by Orion Optics. I hear they are waiting on the Carbon Tube which should arrive this week. 5 weeks wait so far. Perhaps another week or two yet before it starts on it way. I am not sure if the optics are finished but they did not mention those tonight, so they might be ready.
