Hi All,
It seems that a lot of us talk about small refractors without realizing that the different size scopes fall into quite different classes. This image is for everyone who's wondered if a 100mm scope was enough, without having had the chance to look at one.
The scopes are:
A "Serious Size" 130mm f6
A "Travel Size" 94mm f7
The ubiquitous ST80 80mm f5
I tended to lump them all into the "small refractor" group and was quite surprised by the size difference. Are you?
Clear skies,
Doug Bell
