Thanks Wes.

Wanting to learn more, may I ask another question. Does this mean then that smaller pixel size is better? For example, assuming we shoot the C14 at prime focus. The smaller pixel size will result in more pixel per sq area of the object. Thus in theory, the more pixel that covers the same area, the better the resolution in the image right?

Another question if I may . But smaller pixel means smaller image scale which I now understand why f/48 versus f/24. Assume for the moment in the future we have a camera that is 1/4 the pixel size of the Skynyx today. Would that mean someone would have to pile on powermates/barlows at f/192 just to get the same image scale as the other camera? In other words, is there a limit to how small the pixel should be in order to be real-world practical?

Thanks,
Ron B[ee]
PS - Wes, I'm so glad you have a website now. I love going there to consult some features in great depth of details on your website
