Theoretical maximum magnification obtained from eyepiece with half the f ratio of the scope.

Therefore my CPC1100 has f ratio of f10.
The biggest magnification I can expect is from an eyepiece of 5mm.
Don't even bother trying a smaller mm ep.

For that matter, the 5mm will only be viable in extremely good seeing conditions.
