Image Scale: Arcseconds per Pixel, Seeing and Sampling Flags
This lesson is part of the course
In this lesson
You calculate the image scale in arcseconds per pixel for six camera and telescope pairs, flag them as over-, under- or well sampled against the local seeing, count the good matches and find the bin factor that rescues a long-focus setup.
