Thank you so much everyone for the tips! I think I'm overestimating what I can see so fast. I have yet to see amazing things. I do love seeing the stars and I am in no way bored of them. I've seen some great shooting stars through the eyepieces which is beautiful. I feel I'm being impatient so I think ill keep taking a look every night. Skyalign is being very figity to setup so I am manually using the hand piece to move the telescope. I think I'll try most the night to set it up correctly.

Hi everyone! So I'm very new to stargazing and picked up a Celestron NexStar 130SLT which came with 9mm & 25mm eyepieces. I've used it a few times already but have really only seen stars as little white dots (which I'm still very happy with haha) But I'd like potentially see some galaxies and whatever I can really get my eyes on. Can anyone tell me what I can expect to see out of this telescope and its factory eyepieces. I would like to purchase eyepieces I just have no idea which I would need.
