Tom,
Absolutely spectacular sites. I love them. Haven't had time to go through all of them yet, but what I've found, quite interesting. Here are a few of my goodies I've uncovered in my web browsings ...
http://www.licha.de/AstroWeb/articles_fullsize.php3?iHowTo=20 A fantastic site comparing different telescope types of performance. Unfortunately, nothing about catadioptics, but a lot of good stuff on APOs, achros and Newts.
http://www.anzwers.org/free/universe/index.html An Atlas of the Universe. Yes sir.
BTW, Zizzapnia, love the Robert Gendler site!
Ciao amigos,
CDS

Here's an interesting link:
http://www.geocities.com/the_150mm_reflector/index.htm
"Observing With A 150 mm. Reflector" wherein the author attempts to answer the question "what can you see with a 6" telescope?" He also encourages people to post their observations made with 6" and smaller aperture 'scopes regardless of type.

Very good review of the best filters to use (UHC/Ultrablock, OIII or H-Beta) for some common nebulas:
