Very nice @Fedele!

You have used several telescopes in recent years. Which is your preference for imagine planets, say Jupiter?

Hi Master

in imaging the diameter matters, no ifs or buts

C8EdgeHD it soundly beat the Mewlon180C in imaging. I very rarely manage to use the C11 effectively in my site, in fact I will sell it.
I only had the VMC260 for a few days, but it didn't convince me.
At the moment I am leaning towards staying with an 8" for everyday imaging. This C8EdgeHD is excellent, but I would like to try some other solution that can offer me greater image sharpness. I would like to point out that I am self-taught in imaging and that I shoot unique movies (no RGB, no derotations etc).
I still have to try compared to the C8EdgeHD (I repeat this example which is particularly successful and I have had 2):
- VMC200L but I doubt it can offer more than the c8 due to the greater obstruction. I would still like to try it though
- Mewl210. Here the price holds me back in case I find out that in imaging it will be (As I think) very close to my current c8
- Newton 200 f6 handcrafted, quality and low-obstruction product

I'm really anxious whether to keep this C8EdgeHD or hope that a Mewlon 210 will be a big leap, both in visual and imaging, for its quality.
I'm really doubtful
