I can concur with Trevor, for your scope a low power is best. In fact I would suggest that you use a 24mm or 17mm. For suburb viewing an OIII filter is very good, it shows lots of nebulosity. 10 minutes or so outside and the sky opens up. Even make yourself a little list of object you want to view and use a red torch to read your list and charts.

Trevor has given you great advice, but I just wanted to reaffirm what he said.
