Trido,
It depends on your light pollution. Out in a dark rural sky a 12 inch scope will give you great viewing of alot of things deep sky, but if you live in the city on moonless nights you will get awesome views of the solar system and some OK views of some various deep sky stuff. If you don't have the time to get into astro photography and you want awesome instant satisfaction of viewing deep sky from suburbia then get a Mallincam hyperplus colour video system. This camera has cemented my new addiction of astro viewing in real time. Full colour images of the brighter deep sky objects in as little as 7 seconds exposure. I was bored with my 12 inch scope chasing many deep sky objects in my light pollution in suburbia but with this magic eye my scope now performs more like a 60 inch scope!!!! can't wait to try it out in dark sky. Have fun with what ever you do.
Regards Matt.
