Hi Wey and
Adding to Alex's great monthly challenges, I've written up some observing lists as well, many of the objects on my lists should be do-able with your scope.


Exploring Puppis- Come and Take a Trip With Me!
Puppis is good viewing right now and there's a lot to see in that one constellation.


Highlights of the Winter Sky (these are the eye candy objects).


May/June Observing Challenge (focusing on the constellation of Hydra).


Suzy's Observing Targets: July/August 2012


Easy and Beautiful Targets for Binos
Scroll down to post #11 as I've added more to the list.


And I've also written up pretty much everything you need to know to get started in astronomy. See posts #12 - #15 in this thread here.
I really need to put this all together into the one article and pop in the articles section one day.
Loads of good tips! If I do say so myself .

And lastly, Malcolm mentioned the Messier book for star hopping and observing and I second that. It's a brilliant book. But you'll get it for around half that price through the Book Depository in the U.K.
