I've only had a few months of serious work with the
12". I have plenty of objects on my potential target
list, and I think it is still a viable piece of
equipment. At some point though, yeah, I'll be looking
at a RC. What I really want right now, is to be able
to monitor a star for sharpness during an exposure.

What are you using now?
