This is something I have been thinking about lately but I have to admit I really don't know much about. Here conditions are so bad all the time anyway so I have never wondered a great deal about it.

However we will be moving come July and I'm just starting to research what conditions may be like in terms of seeing, while it will still be a vast improvement it would seem that the region is in part of the summer jet stream which is not going to help with planetary imaging much.

It's one of those things that everyone seems to have a varied opinion on but I guess my main question would be ... Is there going to be a noticeble difference between a 9.25 and an 11" scope to warrant one over the other in average seeing?

Anyway why agonise about this stuff - if you've got a scope go use it.
This makes sense to me but surely a lot of the agonising has to do with the size of ones wallet.
