Hey cheers Bob.

Even though they have similar focal lengths, The 6" Starfire APO with the big 16803 chip has a much larger field than the AG12 gets with the smaller sony chip in the Starlightxpress. The AG12 data is higher resolution, showing more fine details than the Starfire too due to having a larger aperture, the pixels being smaller and the seeing is better here in Canberra than it was in Newcastle, so the details immediately around the paw pads themselves is increased over what the original Starfire only image showed.
