Get one with a "red dot" aiming attachment, I have a Zhumell Z130 but they have smaller ones available with the dot like this:

You also want a 6mm planetary eyepiece if you wanna see Jupiter's streaks or really see Saturn's ringsThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Hope you get one!
You also probably want to get an app that can spot night objects for you to zoom in on.
The telescope I linked is a small and portable one but I would really recommend you spend a bit more and get a 5 inch telescope like the Z130 or AWB OneSky anyway.
That's basically at the point where as an average stargazer you will never need an upgrade other than new eyepieces.
Whereas smaller telescopes are alright but you might end up wanting a better one anyway.
For example with a planetary eyepiece, on a smaller telescope you will likely have to use 6mm, which is fine, but if you use 4mm for a closer look then the objects will look somewhat dim. On a 5inch or bigger telescope, 4mm will look great still. But 5 inch is good enough for most viewing.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2021-07-31 at 9:52 PM UTCIf you go to a nice dark spot, you can see nebulae pretty well. You can actually see the glowing dust clouds in Orion for exampleThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

There are quite a few. I have an Android phone so I use Star Tracker. On ios there are Sky View Lite, Star Walk 3, Star Chart, probably a bunch more.
Looking forward to your pics!The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2021-08-01 at 1:14 PM UTCWe live
We laugh
We love
I open my Bible and turn to Ezekial chapter 6 verse 9:
Then in the nations where they have been carried captive, those who escape will remember me— how I have been grieved by their adulterous hearts, which have turned away from me, and by their eyes, which have lusted after their idols. They will loathe themselves for the evil they have done and for all their detestable practices.
