Re: What Is The Highest Magnification You Can Get?
The lunar surface can take a lot of magnification and the amount can change by the minute.

Re: What Is The Highest Magnification You Have Ever Gotten?
I never actually expected to see anything. Like you, it was the only time I ever tried it. I just wanted to see how bad the view got. Answer: pretty bad!Makuser wrote: ↑Fri Dec 25, 2020 6:22 pm Hi Kathy. Wow, 600x and 800x. I remember when you posted that on a thread years ago. The highest I ever went was 500x with my 12" Dob. I put in a 3mm Smart Astronomy Orion Planetary Edge-on clone eyepiece on a pristine night and this is 500x. I even saw craterlets inside of craters, but as you would expect, the view kept quickly floating out of view at this power. This was the first, last, and only time I have tried this. I usually stay at much lower powers. Thanks for the fun thread Refractordude and Kathy, and the best of Seasons Greetings.

I did once have a spectacular session observing with ~800x. Of course the eyepiece was being fed photons from a 40" scope so there were plenty.KathyNS wrote: ↑Sat Dec 26, 2020 8:42 pmI never actually expected to see anything.
