i have an Orion 4.5 Skyquest Telescope.. i have seen Jupiter and the Moon with it but i was wondering what else could i see through the scope that is visible and clear enough to see? any other planets maybe? stars? satellites? anything for these novice eyes... thanks guys.... i have lenses that range from 32 to 10 mm....
 
There are hundreds of objects you can see through your scope. Most of the planets are in the morning sky right now. Get up early, and you can see Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Saturn. There are hundreds of double stars, and hundreds of deep sky objects: star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies, but you will need to be at a dark sky site for the latter. A book like NightWatch by Terence Dickinson (Firefly) will get you started.
