Best eyepiece for saturn

[John]

With your 114mm scope, what is it's focal length ?. 114mm is the diameter of the main mirror I think rather than the focal length. There should be a label on the scope somewhere saying what the focal length is.

So would I be right in saying with my 114 mm fl, my 6 mm lense with X2 Barlow is the best set up

problem is since u only told us the diameter (114) we don't know what focal length u r talking about.

so lets say all 4.5" (114mm) should all do max 228x power.

so a short medium or long 114mm scope would all use different eps to get to the max powers

ie: at 500mm fl 6mm with barlow is 166x power

at 1000mm fl (like the original guy here talking about) 6mm with barlow is 333x power too much power

so since we don't know your fl  we cant figure if 6mm with barlow is too much not enough or ok
