Went down to Bintel (Sydney) today and had a gander at the 12". It certainly is a little larger than I expected... but that's okay. I'm already planning how I am going to put castors on the base to move it around (won't need to move it around much).
I live in an area where light pollution may/may not be an issue (Sydney's Northern Beaches) since on my east it's the ocean, west is a national park, and the south is the city. But I'm prepared to take the risk.
I just need to work out where to keep the damn thing. Plenty of room, just working out where's most convenient!
I doubt I will be able to use it properly for a couple of weeks, holiday and work are going to interfere, but once I've put it through its paces I'll let you know how it goes, but I'll post again once I can do an 'out of box' review.
Now I know these sorts of scopes are not perfect for planetary viewing, but what sort of eyepiece should I be looking for?
