I beg to differ. I worked on the 50X per inch and as a result ended up with some expensive eyepieces I consider worthless in the scope I purchased them for. I'm a newbie too and got some helpful advice on here (sorry I can't remember from who) on seeing and magnification. Might just be my eyes (I've been told bourbon and smoking removes oxygen from them and reduces night vision) I stick to about 35X. I would rather look at a smaller object with great detail than a larger blurred image missing a lot. One thing you have done right is find this forum. Even if you don't post you can usually find the questions you want to ask already answered by these helpful people with a wealth of knowledge, and a lot of different opinions sometimes so you can see what works best for you. If you can find a local astronomy club,join. I'm a member of Snake Valley in Vic.We have only been on two camps but it's great to meet up with some like minded people (Snake Valley members are great! friendly, accepting and helpful) and things can make a lot more sense seeing them physically done rather than just reading about it. That said, back to polar aligning lol. Goodluck enjoy the sky.
