What Tele Vue Powermate to use.

[HCR32]

I have a f8 rc and want to know what Tele Vue Powermate would be the best to use for mono planetary imaging.

In terms of Powermates, you're mostly going to use either a 2x or 2.5x with your C8...since a 4x is going to be unusable on all but the very best of nights.

I'd be more inclined to consider a 3x Televue barlow for planetary imaging with a C8.

But if it has to be a Powermate, you might want to check Televue's website to check out how they perform.
