give u an example.
when i had my 8" dobsonian telescope on an exceptionally clear night. i bumped my magnification up to 400X.
now at this magnificatin every little bump or morement you don't even realise your doing affects the image through the eyepiece.
for all of about 5 seconds viewing it was great, but the image moved out of the FOv (field of view) too quickly. not to mention if you lost the image you were zoomed in so far it was hard to get it in the FOV again.
140 - 160X mag max like the others have said is about the most you'll get, but also the best images will appear.
40 - 80x mag will be your most used magnification and will show you the best results.
good luck with the hobby.
