Sorry to do this to you, but it will be smaller. The way it works is the longer the focal length of the scope (not the eyepiece), the greater the magnification.

It is like the giant telephoto lenses used on cameras, the longer the lens focal length the bigger the image.

If you are after info on imaging, ask the gurus in the 'cameras, photography & imaging' forum. I do no astrophotography, & the few Q's I've had I've asked there. Incredible resource.
