Good things to see with my telescope?
I have a orion xt8 and i was wondering what can i see with it other than planets? I have a 25mm and a 6.3mm eyepiece. Will i be able to see color in objects other than planets?

I have an Orion 10" as well as an 8" reflector. I use the 8 inch for imaging and I can tell you that my 8" performs superbly. It is the ideal size for fast set-up and yet has enough aperture to see even the faint galaxies in Leo.
There are only a handful of objects that show color to the human eye in a telescope. Alberio in Cygnus, The (Herschel's) Garnet Star in Cepheus, Antares in Scorpius are some of them.
