Welcome Toetoe,
As you persist with your interest in astronomy you will realise as l am sure a lot of us have, that the telescope itself is certainly not the be all and end all of our hobby.
When you cruise the forums you will notice time and again members repeating the line--no good having it if it's not pointing up-- or something along those lines.
There really is a lot to learn and this is one of the places to do it, as a reasonally new member myself l have found the other guys to be really helpful, my interest started as a 16 y.o with a scope very similar to yours and it has taken quite a while to get to the 12" LX200 l now own but l realise without learning the basics then even this scope with all it's advantages over my first scope would bring me no more pleasure.
It's a big sky, take your time, it's not going anywhere. Good luck. Mick.
