Jim, aperature rules. With the same mirror size, longer focal length
gives you a small secondary. So, while 10" f8 newt would potentially surpass your 10" f4.8, a 6" f12 has far too much a disadvantage in size. Also, Mak's have a relatively large central obstruction. To top what you already have (which is a very good scope), you could get a larger newt, a same-size but longer focal length newt, a larger SCT, or an apo refractor of the same or possibly slightly smaller diameter. Those are all massively expensive options. I'd be more inclined to invest in better eyepieces for the scope you have. Greg |
