I was hoping they were. 8” dob is heavy and maybe not worth the aperture fever. Nice images.

So maybe a 12 inch will do for really great images?

I once went to my university observatory with a 16 inch Newtonian, sadly where I live the skies aren't great, even with clear skies I don't recall Jupiter and Saturn looking any better than the images you have here. The detail on the moon was much better though
