a 12" dob is a BIG scope, unless you are really tall (like super freaky tall) you would probably need a step ladder to look through it on an EQ mount.
im about 5'8 and the eyepiece is only just at eye level when pointed at zenith on the dob base.
if your not going to be doing any photography through the scope id say get a 12" dob and fit it with an Argo Navis.
