yep, undersampled images are the odd man out. The star spots will become more intense (ie have more spatially concentrated energy) as the fl decreases, but this change won't be detected. ie, what you see will be determined by the sampling as well as the optics. Which is actually a good example of why sampling was mentioned as being of prime importance way back in the early days of the thread.
