Cheers Logan,

I have had a look at a great deal of data on that issue..

Guess I'm just curious on how much I will be able to see with an 80mm APO; don't want to spend the coin & end up going 'is that all'...

That said, I can't afford larger in an APO & I don't want to go down the large reflector as I think it just won't get used.
