Small, Medium and Large
Hi White Rabbit & All,
Hmmm ... vexed question. I think you're gonna get quite a few different answers on this because there is no formal definition or even broad consensus. I try not to use these terms (so far as possible) in my articles for that very reason. This is my take on it -- with "overlaps" and an extra category.
15cm (6") is the largest small telescope or alternately the smallest medium-sized 'scope.
30cm (12") is the largest medium-sized 'scope or alternately the smallest large 'scope.
50cm is the largest large 'scope or alternately the smallest huge 'scope.
+50cm is huge in anyone's language.
Best,
