I use the mask on the moon and Jupiter with excellent results.
Actually, I did carefully read what you said.

Resolution is not related to brightness - it's related to aperture width.

But how you use your telescope is up to you. I hope you enjoy using it, and if using aperture masks makes you happy, then great, because that's what it's all about.

Clear skies.
