Computer not accurate

1. Get Stellarium or another fine astronomy program
2. During the day, point the telescope at a part of the landscape about 100 yards away.
3. Use the lowest power eyepiece (highest number) in the focal tube.
4. Center the landscape object in the telescope.
5. Align the finder scope so that it points exactly where the main telescope is.
6. At night, leave the scope out to reach thermal equilibrium (about an hour for small reflectors and refractors)
7. If the scope is on a EQ mount, polar align.
8. Point the finder at the moon. The moon should be in the main scope also.
9. Practice finding the moon before you start on the planets
10. Once you are comfortable with the moon and planets, you can go for the deep sky objects

The Moon, the planets NOR the stars will hold still for you, sorry.
You have to keep moving the 'scope to "track" them.

The stars will always be "points in the sky" no matter what telescope.
The stars should be sharp, focused points in the center of view (more blurry towards the edges because of the stock eyepieces and the fast telescope mirror) if not, the telescope may need collimation. (look at instructions and/or search online. Plenty of instructions on the net.)

Stars will always appear as points. It is not possible to magnify them enough to see them as disks because they are all extremely far away. A telescope will however show you stars and other objects that are too dim to see with the naked eye.

You will be able to see the planets as disks, and even features on the planets, such as the bands on Jupiter, the rings of Saturn and the phases of Venus, and also moons around some planets. There are other objects that will show more detail when magnified, such as nebula. You will be able to see a lot of craters and other detail on the Moon.

Your problem is simply that you are not pointing the telescope at these objects. This seems to be one of those telescopes that "automatically" finds objects, but these so called "go to" scopes only do this when they are set up properly. I can't say what step(s) you have missed, but clearly even if the scope thinks it is pointed at the moon, if you can't see the moon, it is NOT pointed there. The Moon will fill the field of view even with the least powerful eyepiece. If you are seeing stars as points, then the eyepiece is focussed and working properly.

I believe that scope is on a EQ mount which you must polar align in order to use the telescope. It is also a small refractor. You will be able to see the major planets, a few star cluster, and a few bright nebula, along with double stars.

However it is only about 70mm so it's light gathering power is low. Look at this type of telescope.

You have a 3-4 inch reflector. DO NOT USE the 2x barlow. It creates too much magnification for that small telescope.

Put the eyepiece with the largest number written on it into the telescope and then try again.

Objects in the sky are very tiny. The scope must be pointed directly at them to see them.

and try to locate a local astronomy club to get help with locating sky objects.

question answered on another post-- the moon and planets are CALCULATED and will always have some error. Your initial alignment MUST BE very accurate.

Many people have the same problem-- with these small telescopes you are stuck with seeing only the moon, and several other planets, and maybe a few bright star clusters.

These are all TINY objects (except for the moon).... when you look through the telescope you are looking at a section of sky about the size of your fingertip held at arms length-- the scope must be pointed DIRECTLY at the object. Practice on the moon first-- and then try to find Saturn which is up in the sky right now-- it looks like a dim (slightly yellow) star.

1. Read menuals proper.
2.Start sky watching from moon & than planet & after younsee star or constalation.Their no change in star with telescope.But you cansee mor stars in constalation.
3. Take support from books. or astronomy softwares.
