I recently purchased a SW 127 and eq5 goto mount.

Please help, as wonderfull as the moon and Saturn are I think I may get a little bored viewing them on every session.

Can I actually view anything else with the telescope other the the above.

Please I would love too start a list of viewable things in the sky with my setup.

It's a great scope, you'll see loads -what about the double stars?

Albeiro for later on in the night, Mizar, Almach for starters, then there's the brighter globular clusters - M13 is a great one to start.

I'd suggest a good book like Turn Left at Orion to get you going with a variety of objects. It explains the type of objects that can be seen with a small aperture scope in an urban back yard. It also gives you finding instructions and a diagram of how the object will appear in the eyepiece. :)

(Of course you'll have to judge the "seeing" as well - but that's something that comes with practise)
