Hi
Something else to look at are the nebulas in Orion.
Find the three bright stars of the belt, then move right a bit, then up a bit.
Start with an eyepiece with a wide FOV (field of view, ie big number).
You probably won't see colour, but should see the grey nebula outline and some bright stars.
When it is a better position, look closely at the stars in the Southern Cross.
Several are double stars.
Enjoy
Philip
