Aperture is king.
"Another important function of the
telescope is
resolving power. This measures how well you can separate two objects, and of course this is related to how sharp the image looks. Both of these functions, light gathering
power and
resolving power, depend only on the size of the
telescope (called the aperture)."
Of course bad seeing stuffs all that up.
