General rule of thumb is to use a magnification that gives 2mm exit pupil. Use lower power when this is too much to allow object fit in FOV or when seeing conditions demand it. I found the ~2mm exit pupil rule works well for picking up the most detail on galaxies. That would mean a ~9mm EP with the f/4.5 LB.
