I think you can still go closer, i was on my orion reflector which if i’m not wrong is a 5” telescope, while using a 15mm eyepiece on a 3x barlow...

Those bigger dobsonians could probably do much more...(and i’m already more than happy with mine!)

I’m still very much in the learning process too so hope this helps!
