Hi Mark,
I think easiest way to visualise it is the camera is the aspect ratio and the telescope as the focal ratio.
102mm @ f8 = 816mm which is the point the telescope comes to focus.
102mm @ f5.6 = 571mm which is the point the telescope comes to focus thus allowing more field of view and extra light gathering power(picture a cone)
Hope this helps
