For example, Have one of your images of Jupiter, and include the measurements you used - where/how you measured the # of pixels in Jupiter (across the equator or from N-S pole?), what was the size of Jupiter in arcseconds when you recorded it, and where did you get this info from? Include some pixel sizes for some common cameras (Toucam, DMK, etc).
btw Anthony I'd love to see the image scale of your Jupiter images with a camera with smaller pixels!!
thought i would be a smart ass and make the image go from 650 to 1400...........even then the bloody thing hass mnore detail than my best this season...........................
DP, if I was using a toucam or dmk camera with 5.6u pixels then the image should be 7.4/5.6 = 1.32 times the original size, ie Jupiter would be 461 pixels across the equator. It would only *just* fit inthe 640x480 ccd :-)

cheers, Bird
i like my 1400...........call it rough as guts maths, but it looked awesome on my 24" monitor...........ie fill the screen!!!!
much more fun than actually calculating it properly
plus you had a great chance to rub it in to us all..........."yes, young grass hoppers, one day you can come scratch the clouds of jupiter with uncle bird, but until then..... keep practising on your baby pixels"
