The other thing to think about is how big is the sensor in the camera that was used. Even on my DMK camera, the sensor is only 12mm or 1/2" wide, and for a planetary camera, that is fairly large, 1/4" is common as well. So that image as it came out of the scope may only be 12mm wide, not the size you see it on the screen.
