Slow scope, fast scope...what does it all mean?
in Getting Started General Help and Advice

Does the f/ratio have anything to do with how fast you have to "track" the image in the scope's view? For example do you have to adjust the position of the scope faster to keep the image in view? I am a newbie and have a F/10 3" chepo scope, an F/4.4 4.5" chepo, and a nicer Class X 10" scope that I'm thinking is a F/5.5ish maybe? I haven't worked out my camera hookups yet but that is my goal. Will be attempting looking at the eclipse tomorrow. Thanks for any input!!
