Really? Was that 12" properly cooled and collimated? Because even on the worst nights (short of gail force winds) I can get to 150x with room to spare.
On a side note regarding this thread in general:
*facepalm* at people telling someone with their first scope to buy a Televue eyepiece immediately.
Otherwise good advice here.
