So just to help make sure i a reading and understanding this correctly, So to get better image quality / sharpness from my Donsonian, I could possible make one of these aperture masks?
Plus also look at colour filters?
No advantage in looking at something like the Celestron C11, C9.5 unless i want to take photos?

A 16" Goto Dob!
I reckon that would be ideal for viewing and especially imaging the planets, the amount of resolution you could get with that when imaging would be extraordinary! No need for an eq mount for planetary, alt/az is fine. 3 min videos for Jupiter, 5 min for Saturn. Grab an ASI224MC or the latest ASI462MC and away you go!
Here's a taste with a 14"
