Help with observing technique please.

Hi all,

I have a problem in using anything but my lowest power while observing. I find it difficult to change EPs to enlarge an image. I know that uping the power can improve certain details, but I'm unsure on which EP will do what to whatever object.

I'm after a few obs. tips to help improve my skills. I'm a little reluctant to 'have a go', so a little technical help would be most welcome.

If it helps, my gear includes an f/4.9 10" dob, an f/4.5 17.5" dob & a Celestron C5.

Thanks in advance,

Mental.
