Has anyone had any experience using Televue Powermates, in particular the 2.5x and 4x for DSLR planetary and Lunar imaging

I am currently using a Canon 600D , 150mm F6 reflector on a HEQ5 mount and a 2" 2 x Barlow for Jupiter, Saturn and the Moon in average seeing conditions in Sydney night skies ( I also observe from a good dark site down the south coast at my holiday house but I use Sydney as a test base for any new equipment due to the poorer seeing conditions )

Reports from various other forums say that the Powermates have an advantage over Barlows for imaging

My 2" 2 x Barlow works extremely well for Lunar and Planetary visual observation and Lunar imaging, however not so good with Planetary imaging

I welcome any advice and comments in regard to using Powermates for Planetary imaging

Thanks in advance
