In your 12.5" scope you should get 6, 90% of the time depending on conditions and elevation, sometimes you may only get 5. Elevation and transparancy are important factors in seeing all 6 using scopes in the 6" to 10" range. Usually in 4" and 5" scopes you will only get 5 and may if your lucky occasionally get the 6th (F star).
