"f-number determines how much light per unit area falls on your detector/CCD/film. This figure is independent of focal length and aperture and the f-number is all that matters."

Hmmm, I would have thought that given two telescopes, one having twice the diameter of the other but both with the same f ratio. Then the larger diameter will give greater resolution given the same imaging time. Mark
