Camera Setting - Skyglow Project

The aperture setting on my camera will only go to F4.0. The instructions state to set it at F2.8; will the project still work for me with the setting of F4.0?
Thank you!

Hello redfoxspence,

I'm assuming that you're working on the project described here:

Yes, f4.0 should be OK. You may need to set your camera to a sensitivity of ISO 400 (instead of the ISO 200 recommended in the procedure) to compensate for the smaller aperture.

I hope this helps. Please ask again if you have more questions.
