Do i need anything special at night table top telescope i can not see anything

Did you set it up according to the provided instructions?
Do you have a low power eyepiece inserted at the viewing end?
Have you aimed the telescope at the moon as a basic test of
visibility?
If your telescope is not properly aimed at the target (a star or a planet, or other object in the night sky) then you will see nothing.
If the power of your eyepiece is too large and your telescope aim is
not "dead on", then you will see nothing.
Have you tried using the scope in the daytime? Do you see anything?
Aim at a specific object, or section of an object, like the top of a lamp-post about a block or two away, and see if you can focus on
it the eyepiece.
You really need someone at your side who has experience in using
astronomical telescopes. That would be the quickest way to solve
any problems you have.
Unless your question is very specific, and unless you provide as
much detail as possible about your problem, it will be difficult for
anyone to provide you with speecific answers that will help you
solve your problem.
joy,

A barlow doubles the magnification of the eyepiece and halves the field of view so it it very hard to center an object. Use the lowest power eyepiece (highest number) first. Center the object in the eyepiece, then you can insert the barlow between the scope and the eyepiece. You will be surprised how far off from center you are.

Try focusing it towards the moon first(you wont miss it) then if you can mark that on your focusing knob(I taped mine with a masking tape).Then use your spotting or pointer scope(I'm sure most telescope comes with it, usually attached on top of the scope)to a faint object or if you have a star map you can locate to where mars is in the night you are observing.During daytime do focus it on an object you are familiar with on a not so far distance first then do it on a farther objects after that.

First you realize that you bought a $50 telescope! These are really toy telescopes that are not suitable for Astronomy.

We really cannot teach you how to be an amateur astronomer. Objects in the night sky are very tiny, the scope must be pointed directly at them to see anything.

Put the eyepiece with the largest number written on it into the telescope focuser. Go outside during the day time and practice focusing on a distant object. The moon should be your first target at night.

Put the eyepiece with the largest number written on it into the telescope-- practice focusing on a distant object during the day time.

At night the moon should be your first target-- objects in the night sky are very tiny. Your scope must be pointed RIGHT AT THEM to see anything.

Telescopes have a VERY small field of view. You must be pointed directly at the object. Why not practice focusing during the day time on a distant object, and then try for a large target like the moon at night.

Put the eyepiece with the largest number written on it into the telescope. Go outside during the day time and practice focusing on a distant object. The moon should be your first night time target.

First here are the manuals for all the Bushnell telescopes-- which you need to read cover to cover--

Now put the eyepiece with the LARGEST number written on it into the telescope-- this will give you the LOWEST magnification. Go outside during the day and practice focusing on a distant land object-- the moon should be your first target at night.
