Good first light. I've had a 12" dob for a couple of months and have been tricking it out. Flocked it a couple of weeks ago (that was fun, rolling around inside a 12" OTA!) and I think it's helped. Had great views of Jupiter (tons of detail in the cloud bands) and the Moon (four craterlets in Plato - at last!).
I still have to solve the sticky azimuth problem, and the optics may be slightly pinched - not sure, but the rest of the scope is great.
