Do I get much more visibility with a 70 mm refractor telescope than a 60 mm one?

Refractor Telescope Views

A refractor telescope has many variables which make up the final view you'll see in the night sky. Aperture size is one key component to determining your view of the stars and planets. If you're in the market for a refractor telescope, you might have considered whether or not it is worth it for you to purchase a 70mm refractor telescope versus a 60mm one. With a 60mm refractor telescope, you will be able to see deep sky objects in good weather conditions. But keep in mind what you see will look small and blurry to your eye. With a 70mm refractor telescope, you will gain one-third more light, making your view of deep sky objects much clearer through your telescope.
