My tilt/tip does a great job on narrow field with a smallish sensor. |
Thank you Marc, your comments are as always appreciated. Re: the AO-X
I suspect there are several factors at work, and subscribe to the theory if the seeing is "slow" then the correlation can be high across a good sized aperture.
I also have no doubt virtually instant and accurate guiding corrections by deftly moving few tens of grams of AO, rather than 100kg of telescope/counterweights/mount pays a dividend. However you cut it, tighter and brighter stars is the result I see time and time again.
By the way, I was guiding at a slovenly 2Hz...sadly a brighter guidestar was not available.
