What can I See ??

Hi everyone,

My friend has given me his relatively unused telescope.

I was wondering with the right eye pieces, what should I be able to see, once I understand how to use this thing. There is no instructions included and I have only a very basic understanding of telescopes but a very keen interest in space. I need a good manual or book to help me get into this hobby any suggestions? I do have a star chart wheel.

Its a Sky-Watcher 130mmx1000mm with EQ(2?) mount. Its Has a 2x Barlow Lens and a 10mm + a 20mm.

Is there any additional lenses I should maybe look into to get the most out of this? So far the moon has looked really good but Juipter there is no detail, I can see some moons.


Thank you for any help in advance,


Jon
