Well the 130 is one awesome telescope. Big difference between the two apertures.

Objects were of a larger image scale but what really surprised me was the apparent brightness of obects.

Split Delta Cygni in both scopes but it was a constant split in the 130 and the 105 needed a 5mm SPL using the AP Barcon (1.8x) Barlow to split it while the 130 would split it without the barlow.

I am very impressed and look forward to the day when my name is called to acquire a 130.
