Thank you! I am using a Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope with a diameter of 20 cm.

Would have guessed 30cm! Good to know if I ever go get new one. How big magnificationis needed to get that much detail?

If you can afford it, the telescope should be as large as possible.

And the camera should have a small sensor size and a small pixel size. Extend the focal length with a 2-5x Barlow lens.
