        "note": "Resolving power is set by the aperture alone: the Dawes limit ≈ 116 ÷ aperture(mm) arcseconds is the classic split-a-double-star figure, the Rayleigh limit ≈ 138 ÷ aperture a slightly stricter criterion. Bigger glass resolves finer detail and, gathering more light, also reaches fainter stars — the limiting magnitude ≈ 2.7 + 5·log₁₀(aperture mm). Atmospheric seeing usually caps real resolution around 1 arcsecond regardless of aperture.",
