Can anyone suggest what f number to use with my canon lens 100-400 the idea is to be able to frame some larger targets with the 533mc especially Andromeda.large.IMG_3924.jpeg.628492cdaf05caef6ee03df08dfb8a48.jpeg

With the sensor size of the 533MC if you want to fit in M31 then I guess you'll won't be going above 200mm to fit it all in.  With that lens I think F5.6 should give decent results in the 100 to 200mm range.
