I wouldnt worry about looking at stars, they dont look much different up close.
Look around the handle of the saucepan (orion), the great orion nebula is in perfect position to look at. Mars is up early but may disappoint.
47 tuc is about 2 degrees up and right from the bottom right star of the constellation Triangulum. It looks like a dull fuzzy blob in your finderscope
