A few years ago viewing the homunculus through Alan Wade’s 32” Red Back was something I’ll not soon forget. Pitch black skies, pretty decent seeing and a hella lot a aperture gave it that Hubblesque view that my 4” never quite matched
I noticed that the view from my 4” to 10” wasn’t drastically different, especially at the same magnification. The 10” had a brighter and certainly easier view but the 4” glass certainly held up well against the more aperture reflector.
I’ve photographed it several times since but I do need to get out and view it again.
