well i have just came in from viewing / imaging mars. i had my 6.5mm series 500 and a 2.4x barlow ie less than 3mm and i was able to see detail.

a very good seeing night out there at the moment!!!

i can see 6 stars in the trapezium!

given seeing conditions here in tassie, i would be tempted to have a 9 and 2.5x barlow or powermate. I have used my 6.5mm and 12.5mm in combo with my 2.4x and have been very happy on at least 6 occassions in two months.
