how much better would i view planets with the 6 inch dobs compared to the 105mm mak.
The difference on faint objects would be significant, I have an 80mm refractor and an 200mm SCT, the jewel box cluster in the 80mm looks sparse and almost lifeless, in the 20mm its colourful and full of stars. The 150mm dob will have approximately double the light gathering capacity of the 105mm Mak.
