Now some clear skies would probably help, I'm not seeing any.
I haven't had a good night weather or health wise since purchasing a used PowerMate 5x, sadly but I know my 8" RC (or Newt) will capture decent images of Jupiter and Saturn with them, nothing like you have but still....
Actually, most winters we get reasonably clear nights in Lithgow, I just need to figure out a dew problem on the secondary of the RC (carbon, nice and light) or use the Newt or my Achromat 6" refractor (old SkyWatcher 152), the hair dryer works well on the refractor and Newt.
I oft' wonder why I have telescopes and not a motorbike I can ride when it's wet or overcast but I keep buying associated bits and pieces for the astronomy.
Come to think of it if I sold all of my gear I could probably afford a Malvern Star or a Chinese near equivalent, lol.
