Conventional wisdom is that the maximum useful magnification is twice the aperture in mm. Once you go beyond that the images get dim and you start to suffer from diffraction effects.

The 2.5mm will give you 192x. Might be ok on the Moon and double stars but I suspect the planets will appear too dim to be satisfying. Let us know how you go.
