It's a good idea to practice in the daytime so you can see where the nobs are on the scope.
Aim the scope at a hilltop or tree in the distance and focus it in. Try it with only the 25mm EP, then add the barlow to the EP. You'll soon get an idea of how the focuser feels. Once you've got it down pat, using it at night will be loads easier.
