Oh it's great Greg, love being able to visually observe while the AG12 images

Have to say though, having used a Meade 12" LX200GPS for several years of visual observations and now a 12" F4.9 Skywatcher flextube goto Dob...while the Meade views were lovely the dob views are definitely a little better and the scope is a little easier to setup (should you need to) with excellent goto accuracy, plus a 12" goto dob is only about $2500 delivered too!! Of course I want a 16" or 18" now...
