The fact that we are actually doing something, rather than being spectators says it all.Just because the Hubble takes better pictures than we could ever hope to,doesn't mean we should stop.Our hobby is more about self improvement and education than 'winning'.I look forward to your images.
Thanks for the info.

As the mirror gets bigger its more efficient to place the sensor at the prime focus as the secondary mirror would be larger than the camera.
