Well done on getting an 8" dob. There will be a few things you will learn as you go along, finding targets, collimation, dew prevention, eyepieces. etc.
If you have any queries, just ask!
First thing you have to do is align the finderscope so you can find stuff and then take it out and have a go at the moon and later in the evening, Jupiter (Jupiter is the very bright object in the north east at the moment)
Do that will get you used to moving the scope and finding objects.
Start of with the lowest power eyepiece you have (the one with the longest focal length)
Does the scope come with much in the way of instructions or did Pete help with setting it up?
Which make scope is it?
