Default Planets

I have a Tasco telescope with three different lenses.

Am I better of looking at the planets with either the 4mm lens, 12.5mm or
25mm?

Many thanks.

Brian Kemp.

Try them all and see what you think.

The 4mm lens will provide the greatest magnifcation, and the 25mm the least.

The view through the 4mm will also be the dimmest, and any wobble in the
tripod / scope will be increased.
