Thank you! I've downloaded Stellarium, and I'll get the book from Amazon. I appreciate it!

Thank you all for the information. I'm extremely new to this (first telescope), so any advice is definitely appreciated. I will be watching the skies in July and after for Jupiter and it's moons (evenings). I'm very excited to see them. I ordered a cell adapter from Amazon a few minutes ago so I can get some good pictures of the moon. I've been spending a lot of time looking at the moon, and it's just incredible. What a terrific hobby I have discovered! I have also purchased a telescope for my 8 year old granddaughter, because she's so fascinated with mine. I'm anxious to see how she does with it. Thanks again, and I'll check out the 4mm and 5mm lenses. Really appreciate it!

Hello everyone. I'm absolutely brand new to telescopes and amateur astronomy. I purchased the Meade Instruments 209006 Infinity 102mm AZ Refractor Telescope from Amazon several months ago. It came with a Barlow lens, 26mm, 9mm, and 6.3mm lenses. I have purchased a black moon filter lens as well. I have an app on my phone to help locate celestial objects (Star Walk 2, paid version). I really have no idea what I'm doing, so I've been reading posts and things, but with a limited budget, I wan to be careful and order the correct equipment. Can someone recommend a lens so that I can see Jupiter and it's moons? According to the telescope documentation, I should be able to see these things with the included lenses, but is there a better lens for these things? Also, I want to capture images with my phone, and I'm wondering if the camera attachments are good for this. If so, any recommendations? Here's the Amazon link to the scope I have purchased: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LY8JWAQ/ Thank you all very much for any assistance.
