Yup, it said f/11 as Roger confirmed. I am assuming he used prime focus because he doesn't mention a focal reducer.<BR>

David,<BR> <BR>Re: f/11 <BR> <BR>I went to Franks website at <A href="http://www.celestialwonders.com/">www.celestialwonders.com</A> and it says f/11 also. This is the same image that Fred presented.<BR> <BR>I have already sent an e-mail asking Frank about this, and will forward his reply. I did not mean to reply for Fred, but it is (5:00 AM EST) and our spoiled Persian Cat woke me up wanting to be fed. I did not feel like going back to bed, so I just turned my computer on and saw your inquiry. I did not think that Fred would be up at 2:00 AM on a Sunday morning. Ha!<BR> <BR>Roger <BR> <BR><BR> <BR>

He used a Meade 10” LX200R, with a 2800mm focal length, at f/11. The exposure 40 minutes using an SBIG STL-11000M camera.
