I used a 12" LX200 GPS on a fork mount and wedge for a few years with pretty reasonable results, never understood all the fuss ...the optics are just not upto speed for wide field high res deep sky was all.

Here are a few prime focus shots through the 12" SCT fork mount and wedge

NGC 1365

NGC 1232

M104

B86
