I used one of these both visually and for imaging with my 12" LX200GPS

Visually it was excellent and the F ratio variability made it versitile.

Here are a couple of images using it and the 12" LX200GPS at approx F6.7

NGC 1365

Dumbell Nebula

Lagoon Nebula

The diffraction spikes were added via crossed sticks over the objective - hey, I liked the look

These were all taken on the native fork mount too

This the GEG on the Meade 12" in visual mode

Hope this helps somebody make a decision
