Another Oink from Doink..... oink oink!

Yeah, I owned 8" and 11" SCT's at the same time and the 11" blew the 8"
clear out of the water. Even against my well-optimized 10" Zambuto
Newt, the one extra inch of the 11" still gave it the edge in terms of
light grasp (fainter stars visible at the same x). BTW, I gave the Newt
a tune-up today so I can get back to using it for DSO's. It is
currently my biggest aperture scope. I need to get a new focuser for
it.
