Guess you have to be realistic with what a 80mm will show but heres a example of a LPI image of mars with a 10"LX barlowed and one with the orion barlowed , visually the image at 200x through the orion seemed to be a little larger and could make out a little detail and was sharper . I agree with Geoff about urban viewing i cant wait to get the orion out to decent skies but with your skies i cant see how you could go wrong with this little scope.
