So I put it to you, what is the smallest aperture scope which you have used
to successfully yield Platoâ??s craterlets?

My experience is similar to David. I saw the central craterlet as such
in my 5-inch SCT under excellent seeing conditions, at a low solar
angle, and was able to detect, trivially, the Big Four with ordinary
seeing, at a high solar angle, with the same telescope.
