HI Rez
Congrats on your purchase, and welcome to IIS. Your Dob will give you many hours of hassle-free viewing while you learn your way around the sky.
There are some great sights to be seen at this time of year. To add to those already mentioned: the Pleiades open cluster (use your longest f/l eyepiece for this on - the one with the biggest number on the side), and M42 in Orion (the Orion Nebula). These together with the Globular cluster 47 Tucanae, will really open your eyes.
Have fun
Dave
