Hi Ben,
I bought this scope for myself about 4-5 weeks ago.
I am loving it. Jupiter in Brisbane has been pretty good so far. It's never pin sharp but I can easily see the 4 Galilean moons as well as the equatorial belts. I can see Saturn clearly as well as some of the moons.
I have seen Sombrero Galaxy M104 albeit very faint. NGC2070 Tarantula Nebula as well as various star clusters and globular clusters.
I tried for some other faint objects but failed to see them.
I bounced around the sky initially but have stated focusing on a certain part of the sky each night and learning about what I am seeing. I also, as of last night, started an observation log.
I have bought the SLR adapters but haven't really tried them. I have stuck to just viewing for now.
I am as new as you but hope it helps.
Brendan
