    Hi Mick, the scope is 650mm focal length so your 10 gives you 65X I would go with a barlow to be honest to double both your eyepiece mags, and throw in a camera adaptor included here:

    2x Barlow Lens 1.25 Inch Short-Focus Camera Adaptor

    I have the 1.25" Celestron which is identical to that one and its wonderful.
    Name: Gus OTAs: ED 100 PRO refractor, Orion ST80 (not the CF), 8" Dob stuck in Canada Mounts:HEQ5PRO Synscan mount, Manfrotto Tripod CAMS: QHY8L not recommended, Guidecam Philips SPC900 webcams (4), Canon unmodded-450D DSLR
