The following image was a test I did some years ago. 8" telescope, f/5 plus 2x Barlow lens (FL total=2000mm). I then resampled about 100 images to 200% before stacking and applying wavelet sharpening. The result is still nothing to write home about . Just to demonstrate how much telescope power you will need.
