Hi Glob
I cannot really give you specific advice for your 80mm F5 as I don’t have one, so all I can say is that visually, on the Moon and Planets, the x5 PowerMate does not produce pleasing views through my Vixen 102mm F9 ED refractor. The magnified views are soft and do not reveal any further detail than the x2.5 PowerMate.
However, when the seeing is very still, I can use a webcam with the x5 PowerMate on the 102mm F9 but even then, only 4 to 6 times each year. The webcam can take 30 to 60 frames per second and when you align and stack them, produces a pleasing image because you can take advantage of those moments when the seeing becomes very good.
Cheers
Dennis
