Tim,
I am also a newbie here, but what a great place to learn. I do not know the telescope that you have but I am sure that it will provide a great insight to what is to seen, or at least some of it.
Unfortunately the eyepiece kit may be a little over priced, but we all do that from time to time. I got hugely ripped off when buying our first telescope in December.
After a lot of reading and scouring the internet I bought one of these
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1-25-Eyep.../191517135065? , it arrived within a couple of days, the packaging was great, and am now actually getting to see some objects.
I know that some may not agree with my eyepiece selection, but when starting out on a budget you tend to get what you can afford to make a start.
So, have a great time with your telescope and come back here often, there is plenty to read and the people are very helpful.
Cheers
Andrew
