Hi Garth,
I’m with Martin, download stellarium. It’s invaluable to help you learn the night sky and what is around and where. If you download it on your phone it can use the phones tilt sensors and you can actually point it at the sky where you’re looking and show you what is there.
As far as what is out at the moment, Orion’s Nebula is a big one. Nice and bright and easy to see. With the apature and focal length you have, you won’t see all of it but you can look for the core ( Triangulum). Try some globular clusters too. 47 Tuc is a nice one to see. Not sure if you can fit it in your field of view but Pleiades is a beautiful cluster of young bright blue stars. The list goes on......
Hope this helps.
Ryan
