Bert, what is the image scale of your system (arcsecs / pixel)?
My image scale is 3.08" per pixel.

I do understand information theory. Farting around with a single image is meaningless.

I dither my images by many pixels. This means I am sampling the same putative image many times.

I typically collect twenty plus images.
