Congratulations Steve,
It's always nice to have a new scope in the house especially a 12"!!!
I've just come up from a very good 4" refractor to a LB12" and even in it's first light last week under a moon filled sky it was a quantum leap forward. I can't wait for new moon.
If your thinking of converting it to a truss system I can thoroughly recommend it. It was the main reason for buying the LB.
I'm thinking of buying new eyepieces, I would like to know your opinion on what works well on your scope. In the mean time have fun with your baby.
