When you consider that all the astronomical discoveries prior to the early 1920's were made using large achromats - double stars, planetary etc there's still room for a large refractor to perform very well.
Many are used with Baader Herschel Solar wedges for magnificent solar views/ images.
You're only limited by your imagination! Oh, and your mount.....
