Hi Grant and welcome to IIS
You will be able to see heaps with your scope. Saturn is the only planet really visible unless you wait until just before sunrise. To see saturn go outside early in the evening. Low in the eastern sky you will see 2 bright stars a bit over a handsbreadth apart. The right one is Spica the britest star in Virgo and the one on the left is Saturn. You should be able to see the rings clearly and at least one moon (Titan).
Next try for the Jewel Box cluster in Crux. Find the southern cross. At the moment the star closest to the horizon is Beta Crucis (Mimosa) the jewel box should show as a faint glow below and to the right of it in your finder. When you look at it in the main scope you will see a triangle of bright stars with a red star near the middle and a glowing group of fainter stars.
There you are, one cluster and one planet!
You didn't mention, is your scope on an equatorial mount or an alt az mount?
Anyway good luck with your endeavours
