The resolving power of 120mm Skywatcher is 0.97 arcs of second. Resolving power of my CCD and the telescope supposed to be ~3 arc of second. Separation of component A from B of Alpha Centauri is ~14 arc of second. Yet the image of Alpha Centaury comes out as single bloated star. I have tried imagining the Alpha Centaury with 8” Meade LX90 with same results.
