Ian,
My rule of thumb for webcam imaging is x5 the pixel size (microns) = optimum focal ratio....I think you'll find this comes out close to f25.
Your f10 with a x2.5 Barlow/ Powermate would be very good.
Unless you experience fantastic seeing conditions, I'd go for the x2 rather than the x3.
Just my 2c
