Galileo is the first to have recorded observing sun spots through a telescope. He used some dark glass as a filter to block the intensely magnified light. His observations demonstrated that the sun was not perfect, but had blemishes, which was contrary to theological thought on the matter at that time.

What is some things to look at with your ordinary telescope?

There are literally millions of things that can be viewed through your telescope, but among the easiest are Venus, which is visible either just after the sun sets or just prior to it's rise (depending on the time of year) and is the brightest natural light in the sky, and Jupiter, which is usually visible directly above and slightly to the south (if you live in the northern hemisphere), and is visible to the naked eye. When viewed through a telescope, you can even see the moons.
