Not taking anything from the 8" Meade but the Nexstar 130SLT is a great little scope. This was taken as a test at F/20 (2560mm). Star shapes are only due to micro-guiding errors. I was testing the AO but didn't get it going so this was guided through a finder. Optics don't fall apart at high resolution as you can see. This was also taken with the same scope at native res (4 panels).
