A 6mm eyepiece may be pushing your scope too far, beyond its capabilities. A 10 inch scope does not double the size of your objects but it does take in a lot more light making them easier to see. Eyepieces magnify your objects and better quality eyepieces will make things a lot clearer. Sounds like you may need a better scope mount as well. If you've got the bug a dobinson mounted Newtonian may be a good idea in 8 to 10 inches. With my 10 inch dob i can resolve the bands of Jupiter and all of its moons.
