Size of Image frames

• by Mizaru

  I would like to know what size the image frames are, as a percentage of the whole sky? Or if they were thought of as pixels, how many are there in total?
  I have looked at over 65,000 and I am wondering if that is an insignificant amount?

  and
  How much of the sky does each image represent? by c_cld.

  so without doing the maths, I would say most of 4 square arc minutes, or

  about the area of about 20 Moons.

  So not very much. There's lots more to come! . 😃
