Hi Allan,

you can see a number of double stars and it is very helpful in finding the south celestial pole (SCP).
Sure you can see clusters and nebulae but only the brightest and without spectacular detail. Yours has 10mm more aperture compared to mine so you may be able to see more detail. But I think the best use for it are widefield views of the Milky Way and the constellations where you can check out objects to point your telescope to.

cheers
