The SCURT target will be returning this year again, but just in case the thought of staring at bar targets is too strange, we will be trying out a new resolution test.
Introducing Scope Check Using Double Stars (SCUDS) !
This time it is a small array of 13 artificial double stars, ranging from 0.2 arc seconds to 2.5 arc seconds. I’ll be interested to see the difference in telescope resolving power between the bars and point sources.
