Sounds good

On a serious note make sure your scope is outside for at least 40 minutes before observing to let it equilibrate.

Another point, try to observe objects that are at least 30 degrees above the horizon to get the best views. You can observe at lower altitudes but as you are looking through more air the views suffer.

If you keep your scope collimated, allow it to cool down and observe "high" objects you will have a great time.

Keep looking up.
