    Ghost.

    The capacity of an optical system to resolve point objects as separate images. Limit of human is different in day and night because size of pupil varies , so it is aroung 50 second arc angle in a day for V-band wavelength 0.55micro meter. read following article for more clarification https://www.wikilectures.eu/w/Resolution_of_human_eye

    Some basic properties of the human eye are: Quick autofocus from distances of 25 cm (young people) to 50 cm (most people 50 years and older) to infinity. Angular resolution: about 1 arcminute, approximately 0.02° or 0.0003 radians, which corresponds to 0.3 m at a 1 km distance.

    dear it means how clearly we can differentiate b/w two objects . and it's limits come from Rayleigh Criterion.
