Hope this helps..?

We have similar scopes, you are at 1000mm FL while I am at 1120mm, yours is 10" and mine is 12" so not much difference.

Here is the same PN taken with NB filters through my scope (5 years ago) using a Starlightxpress H694 CCD with 4.54 micron pixels, providing an image scale of 0.83"/pix

NGC 5129

Hardly any exposure as it was only a very quick first light test image for the new camera and off axis guider setup. It will be up to you if you think the difference is there ...personally I don't think there is that much
