.Thanks Alex!

I've got Stellarium already. That has been pretty incredible! I'll certainly be viewing planets/stars manually initially (I've got to do that to align the scope anyway!).

Thanks for the suggestions re. Jupiter and Saturn. Looking at a website showing when planets rise over the horizon, it seems that Mercury, Mars, and Uranus are the only ones visible before 2:30am so will have to stuck with them. I can't wait to see Mars and Saturn though!

Thanks for the tip re. mount movement speed! I didn't know it could do that.

Yes I'm using the 25mm eyepiece. I've got some smaller (more powerful) eyepieces but probably won't need those for awhile!
