The lens/mirror dia/area is mostly for collecting light, which again will compensate for losses (the poorer the optics the more you need, until parallaxe and blurring becomes a problem), and you also need more light the more you are going to magnify things, just adding 2cents to what you said ^^
It's sort of balancing it out, sometimes there is a weak link that can be much improved, like you say ^^
also the eye piece quality and mag is more important than focal mm etc.
the scope lens diamenter is second because of clarity and light gathering to youre eye. bigger the better. even a cheap scope can be made very powerful with a good eyepiece. say a stock one os 10x pit on a good eye piece you got up 30 40 sometimes 50 times more mag. 8)))))
im guessing its a 40 to 60 mm. get a regular tube telescope say 800mm under 200 dollars easy and you can be playing inside those craters. no joke. see right down inside them. roughly 3 times the mag closer of that video. bad thing about telescope is they all make land stuff look upside down but u need an erector prisim to fix it no biggie.
kewl! Have you noticed that when trying to photograph the moon that it is next to imposible to get the whole satellite in focus? I tend to focus on the craters showing the most dramatic visual depth, but much of the rest of the moon is out of focus. I think this is because the body is so large, that the difference in distance between a spot on the right or left and one in the center are greatly different as to as to distance...
Yet ANOTHER digiscoped moon! The best part of that was the bit that said THE END!
