How much of a difference does a Newt Resolution advantage make!? Let's Find Out!

Why are you even bothering??) and a very fair comparison (same optics price and same night) depending on what criteria we look at :) - There is a possibility that the RedCat is slightly out of focus (paired with the Newt slightly out of collimation), although this could be simply because we have small pixels and drizzling. However, I blindly trusted the ASIAir AF routine, although I'm not sure if it works as well as the NINA routine (which I trust and know intimately, having rewritten it back in the day) *Equipment used in Comparison* RedCat51: https://bit.ly/48hyuVx (Agena) or https://bit.ly/48pTWXW (HPS) Cable Organizers: https://www.etsy.com/shop/SmartComponents CarbonStar 6" Newtonian: https://bit.ly/3W7ZFiA ZWO ASI2600MC Duo: https://bit.ly/3M8IkPS (Agena) or https://bit.ly/3Jti7KQ (HPS) ZWO ASI585 MC Pro Camera: https://bit.ly/3Iwo6y8 (Agena) or https://bit.ly/4cp1Ofn (High Point Scientific) Amazon affiliate: https://amzn.to/49XTx01 Agena affiliate: https://bit.ly/3Om0hNG High Point Scientific affiliate: https://bit.ly/3lReu8R First Light Optics affiliate: https://tinyurl.com/yxd2jkr2 All-Star Telescope affiliate: http://bit.ly/3SCgVbV Astroshop.eu Affiliate: http://tinyurl.com/2vafkax8 ----------------------- My equipment ----------------------- Dwarf III Smart Telescope: https://bit.ly/3SyChXu Seestar S50: https://tinyurl.com/3n62hpzx ZWO ASI2600MC Duo: https://bit.ly/3M8IkPS (Agena) or https://bit.ly/3Jti7KQ (HPS) ZWO ASI585 MC Pro Camera: https://bit.ly/3Iwo6y8 (Agena) or https://bit.ly/4cp1Ofn (High Point Scientific) TOUPTEK IMX571 APS-C Cooled camera: https://tinyurl.com/mr2yhvcw TOUPTEK IMX585 Cooled camera: https://tinyurl.com/4y9dz774 OGMA versions (use code CUIV on checkout for a small discount!): https://getogma.com/ CarbonStar 6" Newtonian: https://bit.ly/3W7ZFiA Mirror Mask for CarbonStar (designed by me :) ): https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6610187 SW Quattro 150P Budget Newt: https://bit.ly/3BABCxl Backyard Universe upgrade kit: https://tinyurl.com/3juwm5sz OCAL Collimator: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DmuBKXB or https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Dc6JT5B Askar V Modular Telescope: https://bit.ly/3Imoq2M or https://bit.ly/3GLuyR8 or https://tinyurl.com/2h758bvt RedCat51: https://bit.ly/48hyuVx (Agena) or https://bit.ly/48pTWXW (HPS) WarpAstron WD-20 Mount: https://bit.ly/3wxNbGI ZWO AM5 Mount: https://bit.ly/3Qb5xVf or https://bit.ly/3JeVUkn ZWO EAF Focuser: https://bit.ly/45agP0Z (Agena) or https://bit.ly/4avCIcE (HPS) Antlia ALP-T highspeed filter: https://bit.ly/42RBR2e SVBony Filters: https://amzn.to/3yBuQZX Mini Computer (newer version): https://amzn.to/49XTx01 Flocking paper/Felt paper: https://amzn.to/3zASgvu or https://amzn.to/3m94zwa Follow me!
