Here is a link to Ken's Telescope Calculator - limiting magnitude is one of
the calculations.

I know I've seen it out there before, but does anyone have a quick
reference to the theoretical limiting magnitudes for various size amateur
telescopes? I'd like to compare what I saw recently in my 10" f/5.7 with
theory...

Thanks,

Mark
