hi there, i have also recently started out in astronomy. i started with a 60mm tasco 58t refractor, almost identical to yours i think but a bit older. I found that the 60mm tasco was not up to the job when it came to gathering the light required for more detail. Ive upgraded to a sky watcher 8 inch dob and i can now see more details on the planets and deep space objects. Replacing eye pieces can improve things but I would suggest a bigger scope, dobs in my opinion are great for beginners, just point and look basically, no complicated eq mount or drive to fathom out. Your telescope is not lousy its just not the biggest aperture so your not getting the views you want. Hope this helps.
