If the mount is anything like the old Tasco I used many years ago you can set it up with the axes perpendicular - that is in alt/az mode. You run out of travel in DEC eventually, but still lots you can see in a 114mm scope while learning.
Just don't EVER look through anything bigger until you can afford. You won't be able to conceive how fantastic a 10" dob view would be in comparison, especially from dark skies.
