Sure - avoiding binning though because it seems a waste,
At f8 an rc8 with that camera will give 0.49 arc secs/ pixel which is a bit ambitious without adaptive optics (ESO style, not amateur). A 0.8 reducer gives you .61 which is starting to be more realistic especially if you have good seeing, but still a bit optimistic.
A 10" f4 will get .78 "/px which would be perfect.
