Tareq, the feelings that you are experiencing are the same that all artists and photographers feel, forever yearning to achieve perfection. That feeling will and should never go away, otherwise you are out of the game. Astronomy magazines sometimes publish articles stating that astrophotography is easy. Personally, I disagree. I have never found it comes easy. I think that it is a technically challenging art-form that benefits from perpetual learning and persistence. If you continue imaging Jupiter with your current scope for the next 10 years, I bet the quality of your results will improve year on year. For the little my opinion is worth, I think that you should persist with your current scope for at least another year or two.
