High Jimbo,
If you are in a dark location you will be surprised what your scope will show you
. If you can try running along the Milky Way you will surprise yourself what you stumble over
. And dont worry if you look for something and cant locate it I lose various galaxies from time to time but they turn up another night
. Try to cruise around as much as you can as well as following a chart
. But with more viewing you you be happy with your scope and what you can find with it.
best wishes
alex
