Hi Valmir - you should be able to see the bright nebulae like Orion & Eta Carinae quite well. I've attached some approximate eyepiece views of these that I get through a 114mm Tasco. These are at low magnification (say around x50) and I've guessed the scale a bit. But of course in the actual views
the stars are more numerous, brighter and pinpoint. In the first one (Orion) the photo is 'burnt out' (white) in the centre - the eyepiece view will be four tiny, close, bright 'diamonds' in the centre. Dark skies are very helpful.
Also one of a brighter galaxy, and one of Saturn at high magnification (guessed, about x200?). With planets, to go this high in these scopes you need really good seeing, otherwise it's just a dim blob that won't focus. Better sticking to low mags most of the time - very tiny but bright.
If you don't get similar views, it might be a focus or collimation problem.
Good luck!
Cheers -
