After some "fears" not to find the objects manually (I initially used the SE5 with a laser pointer as a guide for the 12" DOB) I am now really happy with the 12" DOB. Haven't used the NexStar SE5 for a while.
Once you know the night sky a bit it's actually quite simple to naviagte fually manually, a laser pointer and laptop with Stellarium helps (I solved the laptop screen too bright at night issue, I may post a thread about that, ping me if someone is interested)
I can find DSO very quickly. Tracking isn't an issue since for most objects I do not need high powers.
Ordered an Explorer Scientific 20mm 100 degree and a ES 9mm 100 degree eyepiece (again in the US as they had a summer slae for these eyepieces, both together for US$448).
Added Baeder solar film and Celestron Skywatcher 20x80 binoculars. Still waiting for it......
