Hi Ken

1) I think you will be hard pressed to see granulation at that image scale. I believe the granules are around 1.5 seconds of arc
2) Seeing during the day will usually stuff your resolving power unless you can capture several thousand images and pick out moments of superb seeing. That is why so many good WL results come from video stacked imaging
3) Focus will stuff up fine details at 1.5 sec of arc
4) Mirror slap will stuff things

My 2 cents worth.

Ted
