It is advisable to use the scope in whatever way you enjoy using it. Some people
spend a lot of time on one area, others survey. I'd probably suggest starting
out with big, bright, pretty objects like the Messiers (and some more southern
objects that you have). Once you are comfortable with these kinds of objects,
you will also have developed some sense of where you want to go from there.
