I have 3 barlows, the one that gets the most use is my 2x Big Barlow. I've doubled up, adding another 2x barlow to the train. It was a night of near perfect seeing, Saturn at 1000x magnification!!! But nights like that are very rare indeed.
Have to agree - Unless you are doing some planetary imaging with a webcam, a 5x barlow is not going to be very useful
