What might also be affecting how stars appear on a screen is simply resolution of the image; that's where more megapixels may help in making stars look smaller. I bet that 51mp sensor would for most telescopes produce nice small stars (given normal sampling), at least on a screen...
It has been a good thread and answered some questions for me.
Yes I think it would. The only images I have seen with that FLI 50100 are from Wolfgang Promper and they were narrowband. Tiny stars but then stars are often small with narrowband.
