What Barlow for imaging \ Powermate

[zakkhogan]

Hi all

I think i need to upgrade my barlow lens but im unsure what will be best for me. 

My current setup consists of a pier mounted CPC800, ASI 120MM, Bahtinov mask and Revelations 2.5x and 5x barlow. 

I find the 5x is fairly useless where as the 2.5x is great for visual use but not so great when it comes to imaging, images suffering from aberrations.

Ive done some reading and it seems the the powermate is a top contender when it comes to imaging, what are your thoughts? 

Thanks Craig

Over the last year I've used a 2.5x powermate woth my C8 and ASI120MM and have found it a good combination for both planets (Jupiter & Mars) and the Moon.
