Hello and welcome.
I started with that telescope as a birthday present. I live in city and was surprised what it could do and what it couldn't. Jupiter is great object to start with and is still in good position now. Saturn will be in good position in a few months. Craters and mountains on the moon are always worth a view.
I bought better eyepieces following birthday, because I figured that the eyepieces would still be useful for any future telescope.
My main problem was using the finder to actually find anything, but after some practice it was something I got better at.
Attending astronomy club viewing nights was also very helpful with lots of good advice.
As mentioned above - it isn't really made for photography, but you can have fun trying to see what can be done.
That scope was great starter for me and I hope you are able to find it useful for you to learn with.
Until you get motor drive, you wont be able to take long exposure photo's. With the motor drive, that scope is still under powered for the deep sky photo's, but you should be able to get some good shots of Jupiter, Saturn and Moon. Hopefully you will have fun and not be disappointed. Any experience you gain will be valuable if you upgrade the telescope.
Good luck
