Re: 1/6 or 1/8 wave

Hi:

Intes advertised the MK66 standard model as "1/4 wave." They tended to
test out a bit better than that, however. The Deluxe was "guaranteed"
to be at 1/8 wave, and the few I've looked at tend to approach that.

What's the visual difference between 1/6 wave and 1/8 wave? Very little
to the point of undetectable for most observers under most condtions.

I've seen a couple of Intes MK66's advertised - one 1/6 wave and the other
1/8. The 1/8th should be better, but could someone give me an idea of what
the visual difference between 1/6 and 1/8 might be? Is there an obvious
difference in image quality? And would either of these be all that different
from, say, a Celestron or Meade 8" SCT or 7" MAK or even the Orion 150mm
MAK?
