There were a load more features visible as there was now colour differentiation between festoons in the bands. The planet disc in the 7" was sharp but all the bands were gray in fact all the detail was fairly black and white compared to the Newt. It was just plainly a more satifying view in the 10"
That 7" Starfire was a masterpiece but so long as the optics are good quality aperture simply rules - no free lunches there...

Bravo - Thanks for proving my point - although the crowd was looking at the dob I suspect "Clive" wasn't going to be parting with his AP despite what may have occurred on this one anecdotal experience
