I had a look at the specs for your scope and if it is pointed at 3 bright stars, the alignment procedure will orientate the scope for your night sky. The GoTo system will then be able to guide you onto your chosen target. Before that can be done your scope will need some information which it will prompt you for:
- Your location (Lat & Long)
- Date (use the correct format - it might be month, day, year)
- Time (be as accurate as possible)
- Time Zone (+10 hrs for QLD'ers, no DST for us)
The mount for your scope is an Alt-Az type. You can use your scope to take images of the brighter objects in the night sky but it will not work very well for long exposure images.
Other items that will be useful if don't already have them are:
- Astronomy Australia 2013
- a Planisphere / Star Charts
- a red light torch
- Stellarium (free planetarium software)
As you posted your message at 4:30am it looks like you are used to the odd hours that Amateur Astronomers keep. I don't think there are any astronomical societies in your area but there are some local IIS members who may be able to assist. Hopefully they chime in to help you out.
Edit: Finder scope alignment.
Whether or not you have a red dot finder or a finder scope it is best done during the day. Make sure you
don't accidently point the scope at the Sun.
Centralise the top of a light pole or similar that is a long distance away in your telescopes eyepiece. Now adjust the red dot or optical finder scope so that the top of the same light pole is centralised. This will get you pretty close and the fine tuning can be done on a bright star at night.
If you have a finder scope the optics may not be focused. On my finder tube the threaded objective can be 'unlocked' and turned until focus is achieved. Once this is done the position can be locked again by rotating the collar against the objective housing.
