Hi Bert
at f25 the FWHM of the Airy pattern is 14microns - this sort of focal number is used with 5.6 micron pixels for planetary imaging
at f19 the FWHM is 10.7 microns, used with 3.75 micron pixels
basically, planetary imaging uses ~Nyquist sampling on the optics PSF, not the atmospheric PSF as used for DSO - that is the main difference.
Regards Ray
