Adrian, thanks for your quick reply. It confirms what I suspected. Yes the difference to the 60mm will be huge in terms of resolution, although I do see the 2 scopes as complementing each other quite nicely. The frac for example shows the Carina Nebula and the Football cluster in one view at ideal exit pupils, or the full Veil complex - those are sights not to be forgotten. Not to mention the airline hand-luggage factor. Luna at average powers may also work better in the smaller scope, because it may simply be too bright in the dob. Anyway - some interesting observing happening soon me thinks.
