I can do the math to work out the difference on paper myself but am interested in visual observing differences any input/advice would be appreciated
Thanks Troy

Hi Troy .
Also make sure if you can, to observe your chosen object when it is well above the horizon .
You'll be amazed by how much more power your scope will take, and the image quality if you do so under good seeing.
Cheers bigjoe.
