My best views of the Homunculus come at 200-300x. Anything above 400x just results in a crappy blur....I believe this is because the Homunculus is a very "high frequency" object, i.e. it contains lots of fine detail which to the best of my knowledge doesnt exist in any other nebula in the sky, and thus the slightest disturbance of seeing will wipe it out.
