 What is the highest power eyepiece i should get for my 102mm refractor telescope?
I have a Celestron 102mm Refractor telescope (C102-HD). It came with a 25mm eyepiece. I want to add 1 or 2 higher power eyepieces to it. I am wondering what is the highest power eyepiece i could add to it and still get quality views through it?

I owned a very similar telescope for a while, and found that the maximum magnification I could use was 250x (4 mm), though 167x (6 mm) and 200x (5 mm) worked better most of the time. I'd recommend getting something around 8 mm (125x) plus a good quality Barlow lens, which will double both your eyepieces' magnification. This is a really nice telescope, and I'm sorry I sold mine.
