My one inch Takahashi

You know, by cruising around the forums, you run into the more "informed people" with their optical theories and their mathematical calculations. And they will tell you how your telescope will perform. In high school and college, math was not my strong point, so I do listen and try to be polite. And with my various telescopes all I know is what look's good to me. Recently I had my Tak FS 78 with my Denks trained on M13. I admit, sometimes I can't decide whether I am happy with my Tak's performance with a Binoviewer. I mean three inches is three inches. But since I have learned recently that my Binoviewer will more or less turn my Tak into around a one inch scope, AND I remember that my view of M13 was resolved to the core with gorgeous glittering points of light: well I guess my little one inch Tak is doing just fine!!...Sorry for the attitude.
