The general rule is 50 or 60 times your appeture in inches. I have had times at Monte Cristo, and I am sure Wolfe Creek is just as good, where I could easily view at this high power.

I'm going to be buying some eyepieces and I'm wondering what magnification I should shoot for. I only have a 6" scope. With my 8" in California I was rarely able to go over 200x, but occasionally 270x.
