clouds suck under a scope- just whiteness
Birds yeah maybe
It'd be best to show a distant building or tree up close though...


I think the sun is a good object(even better if you have a filter(not one that goes over the lens!)- remember to remove the finder!) In about a week it will be last quarter so the moon will be up from 12am-12pm next Saturday. The moon is always worth a look.

I'd suggest venus but It's hard to find and dangerous if pointed to close to the sun.
