at a guess with ep's

Hello,

The total brightness of an object is determined from aperture only, and the f ratio only affecting the magnification when used with eyepieces/lenses.

So, with a given eyepiece used the shorter F ratio will magnify higher and cause the object to be bigger but dimmer. (Same light spread out over a larger area). If you could set the 130 to have the same magnification at f7 and f6.5 you should see no difference in brightness.

Ps. Sorry was referring to f ratio and not f-stops for lens aperture.
