<smug> Yes, indeed! That's why I'm happy with my 8 inch. My second
scope is a 4.25 inch f/4, to get a nice wide 3 degree field for the
Pleiades. </smug>
I've seen some awesome views in my friends' big scopes. Thank you for
sharing the photons.
The best scope is the one you use the most. For one person, that's a
C-14; for another, a Questar 3.5.
Clear Skies!
