Hi Peter, thanks for the comparison data.

I have never used/owned an AO so if I am understanding this correctly the AO allows you to get tighter stars during each exposure with smaller FWHM readings?

You mentioned you had good seeing what is the expected effect as the quality of the seeing goes down? Would you expect even bigger gains from the AO in comparsion to the same rig without the AO in poor seeing?

I imagine as the focal length of the scope increases the benefits of the AO also increase?

At what focal length scope do you think the benefits of the AO would make it worthwhile having one? I mean at what point would the results be noticeable in a sub image.

Cheers
Brett
