hello

hello. im new to astronomy and my grandparents just handed down a telescope to me.
I've read what the numbers and things mean but its still not making much sense to me. i guess im asking for a bit of advice.. i never got a manual with the telescope but i know the following:

[brand is sky watcher.
it has on a sticker "D=150mm, F=1000mm coated optics"
i have a 10mm lens and a 25mm wide angle lens. and a Barlow lens "x2"]

trying to figure out what this all means has sorta got me in a big confusion. would this be suited for more deep space objects and stars or more towards a planet and moon thing? or something else?
any helps greatly thanked in advance.
and i cant wait to use it! now im just waiting for the right time....
