Hi Daniel and welcome to IIS!!!
I can relate to seeing the Moon up close..it is awesome!!..a good way to find objects is with a Planishpere and a good star atlas..it does take some practice and patience..relax and allow some time for your eyes to adjust to each object you find..keep a diary of what you find and sketch them if you can.
It will be necessary to align your mirrors (collimation) from time to time..also the care and cleaning of your scope's optics...there are plenty of knowlegable people and sections in this forum on the subject..and if you're not sure..ask away!!
Enjoy!!
