Description

Time (UT): 18:45 & 19:01.

Seeing: Fair.

Transparency: Good.

Altitude above the horizon: 25.52 and 25.42.

Resolution: 0.20 & 0.18 arcsec/pixel.

Comparing the Intes Micro 715 De Luxe and the SkyWatcher 190 MN, two very different Maksutovs of similar aperture (180 vs 190) and very different focal length (2700 or F15 and 1000 or F5.3). The Intes is generally used for planetary observation, the SkyWatcher being more versatile.

The nominal resolution given is not exactly real, as the picture of the SkyWatcher seems even bigger than the Intes Micro's, when in fact it should be a tad smaller. I think the quality of both pictures is similar. The seeing was slightly worse for the Intes.
