I'll look into culling a list for smaller apertures and post it when ready.


Thanks, I'll look forward to it, but your list would probably also be
subject to your qualifer to Tony Flanders that:

[T]he eye behaves more photopically under really heavy light

pollution,
which would lead me to expect the relationship between sky brightness
and the 'dark adapted' eye to break down at some point.


The only way to find out is to gather some data.
