sorry, you're hooked

that result is good. In good seeing the 8 inch will be better.

with either scope, you will be able to get better resolution by taking numerous short exposure images and stacking them in AS!2 or Registax.

with that camera you should aim for up to f20 in really good conditions and to get as close-up as possible, so the Meade with your Barlow would be about optimum for maximum resolution. You will quickly run out of resolution with any 80mm scope, so an ED may not be much advantage if you want close-ups.
