A 5" refractor would also work well for your targets and needs less works to make it perform well - you just need to wait for 30 minutes or so for the lens to cool and it will give sharp images. It's also more portable than the C11.
A 6" refractor would be even better but can be quite long and heavy and need a tall, solid mount.

Thank you! Do refractors give a sharper or clearer image of planets than a reflector? Or is that just a myth.
