A lot of good advice on here already.
Please try to let us know what your telescope looks like.
There are different types of telescopes and they have different mounts (tripod + pointing system). Different types and different mounts operate differently.
Ultimately, the goal is to place an eyepiece in the focuser, point at the object you want to observe using the mount and adjust the focus to get a clear image with the focuser.
Now, one VERY IMPORTANT POINT: NEVER EVER point your telescope directly at the sun. Do not try looking at it through CDs or any other junk. If you point your telescope at the sun and look through it, you will instantly have your retina permanently damaged. Special filters can be purchased for the sun, but these are special astronomical materials.
Please ask questions, the community is here to help and support you!
Also as it has been previously mentioned, read through the forum and you will learn heaps!
Good luck and welcome aboard!
Cheers,
Sylvain
