Well, I measured ~9u stars with it a year + ago.


How do you measure star diameters on negatives? I tried with a measuring microscope, but could not get consistent results. CCDs are easier, of course, but the  resolution of today's available pixels does not allow you to accurately measure a star diameter less than 12 microns.
