QUOTE (djellison @ Feb 27 2005, 09:34 PM) QUOTE (MiniTES @ Feb 27 2005, 09:21 PM) Overall I have been unimpressed with the resolution of the SMART-1 images. I know an amateur astronomer who is literally taking higher-resolution images from his backyard with a C8. No one can take 27m/pixel images from their backyard - not even the Keck facility Doug Oops, you're right. What I meant to say was not so much that the actual resolution was higher but just that they look much sharper. This guy processes the heck out of his images and gets resolutions fairly to close to his theoretical maximum. The SMART-1 images just look a bit fuzzy to me. -------------------- ----------------------------------------------
