Thank you Valery.

So I presume that the aperture mask is set to produce a focal ratio of f/30. If the mask is decreased in size further then image quality will decrease with no effect on the band pass?

Excellent detail Valery. The lawn should be O.K. but not looking over buildings, roads, vehicles etc.... that cause thermals. At 50m high the air flow I would think would be quite laminar hence better seeing. Still great images.
