Hi Derek,

I have no idea regarding F ratios - someone once told me how to calculate but I have forgotten.

If you know reply and I will do my homework!!!!!!!![/QUOTE]

Hi Matt,
There is a most helpful article in the Projects & Articles section here on IIS, by Anthony Wesley "How to calculate focal length from plate scale"

http://www.iceinspace.com.au/63-386-0-0-1-0.html

If you do this then by dividing the the calculated focal length by the dia of your aperture you will get the your focal ratio.

Regards
Trevor
