The big jump from a 180mm Mak is the f ratio, f15 down to f10 is a leap astro imaging wise. The C11 has the same focal length but is much faster. Resolution also increases with aperture. Of course the biggest factor for high magnification imaging is the need for good seeing, here in the tropics it's usually pretty ordinary.
