Which lens would you recommend?

Hello friends,

Well last night, hubby and I felt the cloud was clear enough to get a view of the moon and we did and it was wonderful (and he now GETS my obsession with it!).

I have attached a pic of the lenses I have but they are:

SR4mm
Super 10mm
Super 25mm Wide Angle
Barlow Lens

We used the Wide Angle lens - it was the only one we had any success seeing the moon with. However, I'd like a closer view if I can (especially once I get going and start with the photography side of things) but I couldn't see anything with the 4mm.

Am I doing something wrong?

I have to admit, although I understand the basics of the lenses, once there's any complications I am easily confused.

I am trying to read what I can and try things out (the best way to learn) but thought I'd defer to some of your expertise in what the best lenses for moon gazing might be. There is a page in the instruction manual about choosing the right eyepiece but honestly, it could be in Greek and I'd understand it no less or more. My eyes are glazing over!!

Oh yes I have a Saxon Reflector EQ2 Mount.

Cheers in advance,

Kass
