Lukomatico large SCT vs Large Refractor: • Big & Long VS Small & ...
Some notes:
- In this video I look specifically at resolution and details, wanting to see the impact that seemingly small 1"/pixel difference makes on actual image
- Since I'm looking specifically at resolution, I am completely ignoring the obvious refractor advantages (portability, ease of use, large FOV, perfect for extended targets) - just to be clear, refractors are excellent telescopes, and the RedCat is no exception!
- It is both a very unfair comparison (much larger aperture! much more FL! Why are you even bothering??) and a very fair comparison (same optics price and same night) depending on what criteria we look at :)
- There is a possibility that the RedCat is slightly out of focus (paired with the Newt slightly out of collimation), although this could be simply because we have small pixels and drizzling. However, I blindly trusted the ASIAir AF routine, although I'm not sure if it works as well as the NINA routine (which I trust and know intimately, having rewritten it back in the day)
