I really enjoyed your article, John, and wanted to let you know, even though it is a year since you wrote it. I am not sure what I liked the best, the actual text or your drawings. Both are excellent. I am in a different league than you, in terms of the quality of my optics. But, I expect the same basic principles that you find in your comparisons apply to my scopes as well. I will have to put out my 100mm f/8 refractor and 150mm Mak at the same time for a comparison. The difference in size is greater as well as the f/ratio with my optics, so the excersize will be interesting.
Best Regards, :)

Many small scopes, plus a Lightbridge 12, LX 70-8R,6R,6M
Many eyepieces, just not really expensive ones.
