It's not much to go on, but I suspect that the series of novels being asked
about in SFL V10 #140 about a ". . . peculiar inhabited planet . . . near
Earth," with a "special type of lens . . . required to see this planet" is
the Mushroom Planet series by Eleanor Cameron.  The inhabitants are all
vaguely fungoid, and the kids get involved when they meet a native of the
planet, the astronoer Tycho Bass.  Some, if not all, of these books are still
in print.
