Looking for input on the "average" magnification others use on globular clusters.Right now I don't have anything to take me higher than 120x.M13 & M92 look nice but I'm curious as to how high you can go. (8" f6 dob)

This is one object in which the famous phrase "the scope seems to know no [magnification] limit" appears to apply to my 4" TV-102 APO. On excellent seeing night, I've gone up to 293x for a spectacular (have to be seen to be believed) view of M13 with my 3mm TV Radian. The entire globular seemed almost completely resolved and the still fit in the wide FOV of the Radian! Amazing!
