What sort of stuff can I expect to see with this scope? Just curious as to how much more stuff I should be able to see over my old refractor that is in dire need of cleaning, and was only ever one quality step above a department store scope.
But most of all, I want tonight to be nice and clear so I can try out my new scope.
Also, I will post some pics if I can get any tonight.

Sorry I've only had the one scope so can't really say, but I'm sure you'll have a ball with that one viewing Luna, planets, open clusters, brighter nebulae (Edit: and with the camera, a whole lot more!).. congrats on the purchase.
