Sorry, I should have explained ... my existing scope is an 8" Mak-Cass, f/12.3, FL 2500mm. But I'm thinking of selling and getting something more versatile ... maybe an 8"/9.25" SCT that'll take a focal reducer, or maybe an RC8". I'm not going to rush into that decision, though ... I hope.

I didn't know that. I thought more pixels would produce a better image?
Or is it that the pixel density that works on DSOs isn't high enough to get good resolution on planets? Or am I way off?
Why is that, if you don't mind me asking?
