What is the conclusion you would reach from this model about pixel size and sensitivity?

You mentioned it was a very important factor as its one of the terms that is squared.

One bit of empirical observation was on my CDK17 one time I imaged M104 with both Proline 16803 and then Microline 8300.
Same night, same scope, same conditions. I was surprised to see the 8300 lacked resolution and was dimmer but what surprised me most was it was blurrier. Seeing hadn't changed as far as I know.

Greg.
