Well, if the mount seems shakey, try hanging some weights from the connection to give it bit more stability. You might consider getting at least one decent eyepiece, the ones that come with it are doubtless junky. Maybe get a reflex finder like a EZ Finder II in place of the 5x finder scope. Get some binoculars to go with the scope.
Those are the options that cost money.
Go through the software that came with the telescope and *use it*. You can get some decent printouts of the night sky.
Pick your viewing nights carefully.
Best of luck with your new toy!
