Hi Scotty
Yeh well that's the theory:
Simliar focal length (1300 v 1140mm) = similar detail and resolution
From F8.2 down to F3.8 = over four times faster for faint extended objects.
From 6" aperture up to 12" aperture = 4 times brighter images revealing fainter stars.
Sounds too good to be true huh?...yeh well I will believe it when I see it, not counting my chickens just yet
Mike
