G'day there Pete,
I bought an XF12 from Frontier Optics about a month ago; what with the weather, I've not been able to give it extensive use.
There have been a couple of reasonable nights viewing however and certainly no glaring shortcomings have been obvious. With an F5 Newt it gave a very respectable view and only at the very edge did I detect some minor abberation which I've seen that in more expensive EPs as well. I note that you use an F4.72 Newt which is more demanding.
It's an aesthetically pleasing EP with its light weight and compact dimensions. Coupled with more than competitive performance and its hard to fault or beat at its price.
Mark.
