Step 1
If you want to see the full lunar eclipse, then mark your calendar for December 21, 2010. That's when the next one will be according to NASA. Hope for a cloudless evening, so you can see the show when the moon goes into eclipse.

Step 2
You don't need any special telescopes or screening for viewing an eclipse of the moon. You can safely watch it with just your eyes (unlike a solar eclipse). If you own binoculars, you can view it through those.
-
Step 3
If you live in an area with lots of lights like a city, you may need to find a rural area to get the best view of the eclipse. Anywhere away from the bright lights is better viewing.

Step 4
There are more opportunities to see a partial lunar eclipse than to see a full eclipse. I've included a link below that gives the dates for upcoming partial lunar eclipses.
