I've got one of these beauties as well, as do many other happy IIS'ers.
I found it made some difference, but not a great deal, when observing M42 - but the Carina Nebula is another kettle of fish (or bucket of photons) all together! That becomes a stunning and intricately detailed target that will entertain you for some time.

Also take the time to wander around the LMC with it, that looks great through the NPB in my opinion. You might like to try it out out the Veil and Swan nebulae - oh heck it's good on many targets, have a ball with it!
