I recall viewing with a borrowed 4mm radian in daylight and the image was still good. A lot will depend on the quality of the eyepieces and what you are trying to view.

The image gets dark because 80mm isnt a lot of aperture, or more precisely, the exit pupil gets small at relatively low magnifications.
