Hi Tremayne &
Until someone else can help you out a bit more, I'll throw in a bit of help.
I don't know what the full capabilities of this scope can do, but nevertheless should at least show up some beautiful star clusters and bright nebulas.
Download Stellarium (it's free) for a start. It will tell you where all the goodies are.
Some quick goodies which come to mind at the moment are:
NGC 104 Globular cluster (47Tuc) in Tucanae (jawdropping!)
Omega Centauri Globular cluster in Centaurus (jawdropping!)
The Jewel Box in Crux
The Hyades cluster in Taurus
The Pleiades cluster in Taurus
The Carina nebula
The Southern Pleiades in Carina
The Orion Nebula
Move your scope around next to and around the Southern Cross and Carina and you will see loads of stars and good stuff as that's part of the milky way.. nice! If I can see everything which I've listed above in my 10x60 binos, you should have no trouble at all with your scope.
The above list is just quickly off the top of my head and it'll become very clear how to find them by downloading stellarium.
Go forth, conquer and have lots of fun, Tremayne.
EDIT: The Pleiades cluster was changed from Carina to where it should be: in blinking Taurus- naturally. *roll eyes* and hahaha.
