Hi there my name is Grant , i live in Greensborough vic , i am very new to astronomy , it has always been something ive enjoyed talking about and i never done anything about it . Unitll now i got a telescope given to me and its Skywacher sw450 144mm/4.5ich with a focal length of 900mm . Well im after some tips , what can i expect to see ? LOL i look up in the sky and see heaps of stars what are they . Basically im asking what do i do from here ? I want to see the moon but seems to not be around at the moment , will my scope be able to see Saturn , Jupiter , i beleive the answer will be yes but hey will small and i lil blurry . I know alot of you guys here will say get a dob , i very well might , but i would like to get to learn my around this one and see some sights that would just persue me to go get a better scope , i would like to get the best out of this one first before i start spending money . Any tips would be much appreciated and listened to .....

Cheers Grant
