Hello Lee, I have the same scope as you and have been a member here since January. If you have any questions I will do my best to help.

I've managed to see many of the Messier objects, Orion, dumbell, ring nebula, m44, m31/m81/m82, m13/m3 and maybe others not fully identified. Also Saturn and Jupiter. I've recently been looking at double stars and think I just managed to split the double-double near Vega, which due to not being able to properly focus on these stars, has led me into the realm of needing to ensure my mirrors are straight and the following.

Last night I performed some open-heart surgery on my scope in an attempt to collimate it. You can read my report of this in the Equipement Help section. When I next have dark skies and get to test the scope we'll find out if my advice is any good or not.
