I do wonder what my 16" RCOS could capture at the altitude you are working from though.

Thanks Paul
I'm currently at an image scale of 0.84"/pix, I'm confident the seeing quality I consistently see, would suit 0.42"/pix on many nights. My current telescope actually suffers from some astigmatism, not a huge amount but enough to mean my MaximDL measurements indicating the majority of my subs are sitting at 1.4"- 1.8" across the year, are actually more like 1.2"- 1.6" were my scope aberration free. It's actually annoying me, so yes, very confident a scope like your 16" or a smaller pixel camera on my scope, would definitely excel at high resolution imaging at Eagleview, the extra sampling could handle some more decon as well.
