What is your favorite, most recommended deep sky observation magnification?

Hmm, there really isn’t any favorite magnification or recommended exit pupil as best IMO.

Reason is all types of objects and the objects within those types are different.

For instance one galaxy may be best at 200x (seeing detail) in my 22”, while another galaxy may be best at 400x (seeing detail).

So it depends on the object themselves, not a given magnification or exit pupil.

I recommend giving the sky conditions, to push the power till that particular object looks best or most detail is seen. From there observe with that given eyepiece and be patient for moments of best seeing for detail to pop.
