So at f/5 what would your calculation of "real world"  star diameters on the BRC be x seeing?
Thank you

Errr..... what would that calculation be if the CO was 49% not 40% as reported?
Just curious.


The numbers for 49% are as follows:

Airy disc (% of total) = 50%
First diffraction ring   = 34%
all other rings           = 16%
