Made a slight mistake

My post stated that greater light "transmission" is a result of increased objective lens diameter. I should have mentioned that light "gathering" is the factor that increases with increasing objective lens diameter. Light transmission from the objective lens to the eyepiece is another matter.

Sorry for the mistake.
