ATM f/ratio






     Im thinking about makeing a larger scope. I want it primarily for 
planetary observing I  have seen posts expressing slow f ratios for 
planetary work.  Since tube length could get long at f/8 in mirrors of 12 
to 20" can a faster ratio equal a slow one for planetary work if the 
mirror is figured correctly? 

 Is there one ideal f ratio for planetary work no matter the mirror size?
