If you divide the focal length of the main lens by the focal length of the eyepiece, the resulting number is the magnification you'll get with that particular eyepiece. The lower the eyepiece numbers, the higher the magnification. In a 60 mm scope, the best you can do is 100 power. If the advertised magnification is 500 power, the scope size HAS to be 250 mm or more of aperture, otherwise the loss in resolution will degrade the image dramatically. It's also just plain better to begin with low powers anyway.
Telescopes have high magnification and a small field of view - just the opposite of binoculars.
Using lower powers of magnification in a telescope make it easier to find and keep track of the objects in view. It's also better if your telescope has a finderscope - a smaller telescope mounted adjacent to the eyepiece. The finder, with much lower power and much wider field of view makes object location much easier. For casual observing, motors to drive the telescope for tracking objects aren't really necessary. After just a little practice you'll find that guiding a telescope by hand as you observe is quite easy, especially at low powers of magnification.
