sctb78 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Hello, nice scope you've there. Similarly to yourself I've also just begun with a Celestron Nexstar 6SE. First thing I looked at was Jupiter and was blown away I could see bands, moons etc. M44 (Beehive Cluster) is also amazing to see. If you can pick up a copy of the book "Turn Left at Orion" it gives great info on what the top things to see are and when to see them. Have fun!
