Hi Lesbehrens

The best advice I can give is to look for Galaxies and Nebulae with the aid of books and maps mentioned with the proviso that you do it under very dark skies with dark adapted eyes. Often, a pair of 7 or 10 x 50 binoculars will help you find brighter objects before you orient your telescope. I should think that you have access to some outstanding dark sites near Kilcoy. Get in touch with that mob at Kilkiven. Nothing beats talking to people who have already been there and done that.

Good luck
Ian
