The diameter of the telescope only changes the amount of light collected, chances are you can pick up uranus and neptune in your telescope, but you'd only be able to spot them on a very dark night with perfect seeing conditions.
I dont have any other shots besides these (have some of the moon on my cell phone camera, but cant transfer those). I'll try to get some others next time I go out to the observatory. Galaxy shots are probably no-go though, to get even faint images you need a camera that can do sustained exposures (i.e. takes a single picture for 30+ seconds straight), in order to pick up enough light. I dont have a camera that can do that, unfortunately.
