Purchasing Question

Post Body

I have read the beginners guide to buy a telescope for visual astronomy and, since I don't want a heavy and bulky dobsonian, I am in doubt between the two other proposed options:
The Astro-Tech AT72EDII or the Celestron NexStar 5SE.

I have done some research of what I can expect with the two and I found an example of Jupiter for the Astro-Tech and an example of Jupiter for the Celestron 5SE.

Are they really what I should expect?
I would have gone for the Astro-Tech to save some money but the quality of the images seems so different I am thinking twice and thrice...
