And yep used wavelets - I was amazed how much difference it made.

Still a great effort. I don't think I have seen anything but a fuzzy ball when I first started.
You are pushing the ED80 past its limits and a good seeing makes a huge difference. HUGE.
The size will depend on the Barlow(s) that you use and also on the sensor. Webcams usually have smaller sensors and hence larger magnification. A crop DSLR body will give you larger magnification.
By the way, the quoted magnification of Barlows is not very accurate. My 2x Barlow may be different than your 2x Barlow. You can also extend them and get higher magnification.
