Peter,
the Lodestar comment was unfortunate, as I can now see it threw all off the scent. Forget it.
The image your imaging camera produces is what you should be concerned with. The readout (and I forget the actual terminology) should be about 40,0000, but not peak out, saturated.
In your case, get the lowest FWHM you can. In Maxim it also reports the "value" of the star concerned, that should be as high as you can get, but again, not saturated (above 63000/65000).
Gary
