Carton Telescope info for a newbie

Hi all,

I was given a telescope last week that is so huge it takes up the whole backseat of my car in its travel box.

Details of it that I have found are:
Brand: Carton
Size: D 100mm and F 900mm
Type: Reflector

Its got a few different eye pieces and both sun & moon filters. Also an old camera adapter. I have had to pull the lenses out and clean them along with the mirror at the bottom. May have to re calibrate things now that they are cleaned.

Its been hard to find any data on this unit so I am guessing its pretty old school (legs are wood).

Keen to try this out and if there is advice anyone can give me I'd be grateful. In the meantime I'll have a look through the forum for what I need.

Adding a pic of the unit.
