this telescope should be pretty straightforward to set up. given that we have a pretty full moon at the moment i would suggest you point it there (it is a big target) and look through the eyepiece as you slowly turn the focusing nob. eventually you should see that the even white light will start to turn into features of the moon. play with the focus until it is the best you can get then you wont need to touch it much, just for fine tuning. if you cant get it to the point where you are able to distinguish features on the moon then come back and we can go from there. it may also help if you uploaded a picture of how you have set up the telescope, we may be able to see something.
