\hi jarvis! welcome aboard. the only way to get any real scale visually when looking at anything is to get a really big telescope (really big!). 4mm with a 2x barlow would give you a fuzzy mess probably. the maximum i'd use would be a 6mm (thats pushing it too really).
ps: please dont try and bypass the swear filter
any questions please ask away
