If the method used to obtain 1-minute average values is important to a user, the WDC will assist in determining the exact procedure applied. ...

Astrophotography Forum Message . ... The resolution of a CCD camera does not depend on the number of pixels in the camera, rather it depends on the size of the pixels making up the chip and the focal length of the lens forming the image. ... A larger chip made from the same substrate will have identical pixel sizes, just more of them. ... With a fixed focal length telescope we don't have that luxury, in which case smaller pixel size rather than larger chip size is the only way to increase resolution. ...
