Hi,

    To be distinguishable in a 125mm objective, on a night of perfect seeing, with maximum contrast (a
white marble on the dark moon), that marble would have to be a minimum of 2.31 kilometers in diameter!
    And, as a practical matter, it would have to be much bigger still if it were an aggie...
