I've found the best lens on my skywatcher is the 25mm "wide eye relief" (or something like that!) lens.

With the barlow lens and the 10mm lens i find the quality of the objects are lost and i prefer a wider field of view that the 25mm lens gives me.

I find that venus is best viewed as early as possible, sometimes even when its dusk and not properly dark, haven't tried using the scope in these light conditions though anybody know if it will work Or best left until fully dark.

Remember that the magnification is the focal length of the telescope divided by the focal length of the eyepiece. Also remember that 50x magnification per inch of aperture is considered high power. Anything higher and you'll just be magnifying the turbulence in the atmosphere.
