Appreciate the responses.
The penny dropped finally on the seeing limit, that FWHM example really helped. So in Melbourne, even if i could get down to 2 arc seconds i would only need a fairly small aperture (70mm) to max out the detail level. Then it's down to f-ratio to determine the magnification & brightness of that image (given same sub exposure time).
So anything greater than about 70mm of aperture isn't providing more detail, it's simply allowing for a brighter & more magnified image potentially.
Or have i missed a few things? Just trying to find a scope that will give me highly detailed up-close images that'll suit my mount.
