Small dots on stars is what you want! A telescope will never resolve a star so that is shows a disc, they are too far away.

You'll see everything that's out there 'clearly' - With the understanding that we are looking through atmosphere with a telescope, any disruption (like the jetstream, fog etc) may & will limit your success.

To get the best out of any telescope, you'll need to know how to collimate (line up the mirrors) as well.
