If you switch to a higher mag eyepiece, I always find it useful to slightly defocus the object ( when they are bright like planets) before you change to the higher power.
This will make it appear like a large bright reflection of your primary mirror.
This can then be easily centered in your higher mag eyepiece and then focussed down upon.

Hope this helps
