theoretical and usefull max focal length

Hi,
Not the best day out there so Ive been inside thinking again. I want to make an 8" F9 but then I was thinking F10? at what point do I loose out, there is only so much light so there must be a point where I should stop . Where does the point lie? where would a longer focal ratio begin to deliver poorer preformance? (planetry only and ignore length issues for the theoretical max)
Roger
