I’m well aware of the Dragonfly array (they use SBIG cameras after all ) but the system’s magnitude limit has been slowly increased by effectively *increasing its aperture* (by adding additional lenses to the array) while keeping its f-ratio constant.

I think this is not quite the case - by addiing lenses, they are essentially adding the frames to the stack.

The only thing saved here is time (but not money, considering the price of Canon 400mm f/2.8 lens)
