Moon light and all light will wash out all galaxies and most nebulas. You may still find them but under better darkness you will see more no matter the size of your scope. Have fun with what you have and get to a star party somewhere and look through others stuff before any more scopes are thought about. Thing about joining a club as well.

Keep looking up
