Hi group,
Is there a consensus regarding optimal image sampling for planets? I've seen generalities made such as: f/35-40 or whatever is best, but if I make the same calculation I do for deep sky ccd i.e. 205*pixel size/f.l., which for my 10 f/7 newt is around 5000+mm with a 3x barlow and 8000+mm with a 5x, my final arc sec/ pixel (using skynyx 2-0) is 0.2-0.3!! I seriously doubt I would EVER have seeing good enough for that here in the Northeast. Perhaps I should move?
Thanks,
Dave
