Don't know why everyone is going off on a tangent, muddying the waters.
Francisco talked about shrinking the setup and I don't think he was thinking about a factor of ten or such. How do you shrink a 10 micron pixel by a factor of 10 anyway? Or more exactly where do you get such a camera.
So please someone explain how a 16" setup is better than an 8"? But please respect the scaling factor of 2x, do not just apply it to one thing or another.
Is signal to noise ratio better, on extended objects, for the bigger setup?
Is resolution of extended objects better for the larger scope?
Where is the advantage for the 4x more photons with the larger one?

Reason: Meant 16" not 12"
