Start small and work your way up. You should be able to just drop in each eyepiece and then fine tune the focusing.
As magnification increases, you'll have more trouble locating your target. Vibration in your scope will also be highly magnified. antibiotics The image will get less bright, too.
It will become painfully obvious if you use a 3x barlow. Magnification is not always your friend.
