New father and daughter from central coast

Hi all,
Just a quick intro, father and 11yo daughter just starting out from the central coast.
Just got our daughter a Celestron cosmos 90gt wifi ( I know it’s not the best or newest model but, got on sale from Australian geographic for $220) so as a first scope I think it was a bargain. We have had it out a few times when weather has been clear enough over the last couple of weeks, first night I tried to align about 9pm and HD trouble as I had too many stars to pick from I think. We spotted Saturn on that first night while trying to align and my daughters reaction was priceless.
The next time we went and aligned it just as it was getting dark, had no trouble as we could only spot bright stars. Having it track Saturn was awesome, I think she just looked at it for half an hour.
Looking forward to getting out and seeing more whenever we can.
Already have read a lot of tips on here, so thank you all and look forward to one day understanding all the wealth on info on here.

Mark.
