Wil just for the record the F4 is superior to the F5 in this feature. The 
F5 uses battery power for all exposures. At last we found something it's 
not great at.

You can program the F5 to take exposures for up to 30min.

I was fooling around with the 80 to 200 F2.8 and the dynamic auto focus 
on the F5. I let it take an automatic picture. I haven't had a chance to 
print it yet. I'm not expecting much in results department.

Also a side note you mentioned that you use vaseline on threads. I used 
to use this but I have found a much better material to use. Find a pool 
supply store and pickup some Magic fluid. This is a teflon based material 
gives a perfect amount of drag and lubricates much longer.
