Hi Jenny,
to iceinspace I hope you enjoy you stay.
Except for Stars there is not a lot of colours in Astronomy through the eye piece.
Do you mean taking pictures or viewing?
What eyepieces do you have?
Use low power for starting off.
Eyepieces with low numbers on them are High magnification
Concentrate on the Moon and planets , such as Jupiter and Saturn.
If you have a pair of Binoculars look at the Milky Way or some of the brighter objects and then try to find them in your scope.
Binocular Telescope & Optical World in one of the Perth suberbs has observation nights where you can learn more about your scope and the night Sky.
There are quite a few iceinspacers in Perth who you could get together with when they have observing nights.
I hope this helps
