Hello everyone, completely new to astronomy. Recently got a dobsonian 6" skywatcher telescope and is having abit of a hard time using it. The skywatcher comes with two scopes. But for some reason we can't figure out how to use the smaller one. Any idea what i'm doing wrong?? Wanted to find a few planets and maybe even an easy nebula, but the eye piece barely zoomed in at all

So with all this in mind, what should I do? Was going to look at some smaller scopes, but not sure what sizes or the best place to buy from, ebay, amazon, overseas? etc. We have a beginner's star chart and can star jump, just need some info on actually seeing these things haha

Anyway, nice to meet everyone. Thanks for reading!
