Finally got a steady night to test my new toy, a NexStar 5i. And
tonight, I just got one of my best views ever of a tight double, Zeta Cancer (actually a triple). The closest components as far as I know have a separation of .92 arc-sec. At 250x they appeared as two disks just touching (like the number 8), with nice concentric diffraction rings, the atmosphere was very steady. The Dawes limit on my NexStar 5i is .91 arc-sec. So I think I should be pretty happy right? Would you think this is average for a 5" SCT or did I just have a good night of seeing or do you think I have a really good scope? Dave |
