Congrats on the scope. I cannot give you any help with the imaging side of things but on visual you will probably find a 6mm is pushing the power on a scope like that.
Aperture is the main factor in determining maximum power, you will see 50x per inch quoted but that is a theoretical maximum and even that gives (assume we approximate the scope as 3") 150x. Conditions are rarely that good that you can push that high and a more realistic figure is 20x per inch which gives 60x so a 10mm ep may be a good option, or thereabouts.
A good idea is to get to an observing night, if you are in Melbourne the ASV have regular sessions, mostly up at Heathcote, and I am involved in a camp at Snake Valley in March if you are interested. PM me if you want more details.
Cheers
Malcolm
