is this it? (see photo)
If so its specs are:
150mm (6 inch) objective mirror, 1400mm overall focal length
Short tube design yields maximum 400x magnification
25mm & 10mm Plossl 1.25" Diameter Eyepieces Included

At 1400mm focal length, a 6mm eyepiece would yield 233 magnification.
That's probably a little too much magnification under suburban skies.
That would look fuzzy.
A 10mm eyepiece would probably produce a more pleasing result. (being 140 magnification)

I know the specs say upto 400 magnification, but they lie.
