First to IIS!!

You cant see much of mars right now, it being furthest away from an opposition and all :/ but Jupiter should look awesome in your 130mm See its Galilean Moons and such, and you should be able to make out the Equatorial bands and such, you should try the 9mm on the planets and 25mm on the DSO, if you magnify too much on Deep space objects then it starts to lose details, so use averted vision, (looking away from the object and using your peripheral vision to look at it and youll see wayy more detail cos the corner of your eyes are more sensitive to light) but youll need a decent sky to look at some galaxies especially with a 130mm... hope this helped

Cheers,
Tony
