Interesting page, particularly this bit:

"As only about 50% of the light is concentrated in the Airy Disk, and the rest in the diffraction rings, the resolution effectively is just half the value the aperture size suggests. A 10" RC has the effective resolution of a 5" instrument without obstruction"

So my FC76 should resolve similar detail to what my RC6 can do. Sounds fantastic if unlikely. Must do a test sometime.
