I have access to a 12" Meade SCT with Meade series 5000 ep's M83 (admittedly in the middle of Curtin University) is a small elliptical smudge with a 20mm ep. You have to look real hard for the deep and fuzzys and dont expect textbook style views. Your eyes aren't a 5 -10,000 CCD camera with photoshop processing center.
