Welcome to IIS Chris.
Yes, your scope is good for more than just the bright planets. There is the moon of course and open clusters would be brilliant, have a look at the Jewelbox in Crux.
Just have a dig around the Crux/Carina area as many of the clusters and nebulae there are even naked eye objects so your scope will improve the view, you should be able to see the Keyhole nebula there quite easily and of course the Great Orion nebula.
Keep looking up
