I'm using a 95mm f/8.4 telescope. What's the best eyepiece that I can buy for a very close look at the moon or even planets? I'm a beginner in this field so please help me.
Thank you.

Do you have a manual mount or a motorised mount? Also bear in mind that "the best eyepiece that I can buy" will be expensive and unnecessary in a long telescope like yours. – Aaron F Jan 19 '21 at 00:29

Almost all the time, the best eyepiece to use would be the 20 mm lens for seeing the moon. If you want a better view, then you can go for the 10mm. That's what I would do...

@JamesK sometimes you might not want to have a very close view. Probably for photos or whatever... – Siddarth Adiga Dec 28 '21 at 13:18
