I think all joking aside, large aperture = smaller airy discs and the mount is probably the most important element in the system. I've got a way to go to pull the resolution you're getting with that RC, although in theory my spot size is only 3 microns out on the edge of the 8083 chip.

Thanks Colin, I'm still having plenty of technical issues at the moment though, so in principle there's room for improvement!
