Re: [ATM] Diagonal Size

No. The improvement is real.

If psychological phenomena comes into play it would be the observer viewing
through a larger obstructed telescope thinking he is seeing all the detail
the observer using a smaller un-obstructed scope is seeing. "I know my scope
is bigger so my view must be better."

I think it might be possible that physiological conditions of the observer
might cause some not to see the benefits of un-obstructed over obstructed.

The differences people see looking through an unobstructed scope
in many cases are just a psychological phenomenom.  "I know there
is no obstruction, therefore I am seeing finer detail".  
The biggest keys to high resolution is great optics, great collimation,
and great seeing.
