Oh, and not stray too far from my own thread exactly why are longer refractors e.g.f15 considered planetary killers?

Yes you'll get more magnification with the same eyepiece than on a shorter scope but the atmosphere prevents going too high anyway and you can always use a shorter eyepiece with the faster refractor to achieve the same. Is there something else about the views through a long slow refractor?
