Gives Doug 5:36 of enhanced vision, equal to the best possible quality optical telescope or microscope. The telescopic effect in particular can use his entire AoE radius as the light gathering element, putting him right at the top of the list of the world's largest telescopes. Five minutes a day is not exactly prime research science material, but I'm sure he can find applications, since it's adjustable through the full range of normal vision to max magnification - he won't be looking at atomic structure with an optical effect, nor distant galaxies from the bottom of an atmosphere, but it gives a whole new meaning to "within visual range." It would also work for night vision, using normal or low magnification with a larger light gathering region.
Look closer, look closer, and surely you'll find your goal, you'll surely find the way
This would be what makes him try the song - the never ending search for a way to get himself home. It could also work as a portal song to Girl Genius or a similar setting, but since that's still a live continuity it's more useful as the above effect.
