Uranus and Neptune are starlike points that require effort just to find, but of course you'll want to see them. Pluto is even fainter, out of reach of small telescopes but another object you'll want to see someday. If you've done your reading, you won't be disappointed when you look at a star through a telescope and it looks like, well, about like it looks to your naked eye. That's the nature of stars. They're just too far away for us to see any detail.
Stars are most interesting for the company they keep.
One of the most enjoyable experiences is going out to a dark site on a summer night and aiming a pair of binoculars at the Milky Way. It dissolves into a multitude of faint stars and fuzzy patches and dark areas of obscuring dust. Looking more closely at some stars, you may find that they are double. Welcome to the world of deep-sky objects. Some of the fuzzy patches are loose, open star clusters.
