Do you disagree with Stan's analysis? |
Yes, I do. For a given camera (i.e. given pixel size) and for those objects that are just above noise threshold, faster scope delivers more photons
per pixel, which will result in a superior S/N. In fact it may be a matter of detecting the said nebulosity or missing it altogether.
Try those superfaint galactic Mandel-Wilson nebulae with your R-C and your STL11K one day
