Remember equipment is one thing, good seeing is a bonus but good focus, camera settings and collimation is under your control and if you can master these things then you will be better placed to decide what you want next.

I got nice images anyway with my Mak, but smaller sizes, and that where i feel i want another scope, for that small size anything can be great enough, but when i see images from let's say 11" SCT, 14" Dob, 14" SCT, 16" Dob or SCT, 12" Newtonian then i feel like my Mak is no match to those, i couldn't see good nice images from 7" Mak that can make me feel of this is enough or really amazing, in fact in facebook many told me that my images are the best they can see from 7" Mak, so i already managed to make it working, but it never come close to those of larger scopes, so my only hope is if i can buy 2x Powermate then i can try to magnify it then see if it will be any close to those, i didn't say i had bad images, it is just small, smaller than even some refractors which has less FL, but i just feel my f15 is limited, and my 3x TV is too much for my Mak even under perfect seeing, so it is only getting 1.5x or 2x and try again, or another scope as Dob/Newt with 4x/5x Powermate, you let me know what do you think.
