Telescope · Accepted Answer

The StarSense Explorer DX 130AZ telescope's highest useful magnification is 307x. However under most normal seeing conditions, such extreme magnification will be too much for the telescope resulting in blurry views. We recommend to add a 2x Barlow Lens to double the magnifications of the included 25mm and 10mm eyepieces when steady seeing conditions (less turbulent atmosphere) allows.

I read that for this telescope the max is 300x or something. The max lens you can use gives you 287x and is the “1.25" 2.3 mm , X-Cel LX Eyepiece , Eyepiece”
