Also, another idea Harley is to download Cartes du Ciel into your pooter or laptop. It's FREE! Takes about 20 minutes to learn how to use it and it is very easy to use.

It is a program of the sky and you can use 'Search' to see where things are in the sky, mark your favourites on the map, switch to red screen to protect night vision etc etc. There are plenty of Astro programs but I find Cartes du Ciel easy to use and because it's free!

Go here and scroll down to the list of available dowloads and select 'Basic Package 2.76' - http://www.stargazing.net/astropc/download.html

There are thousands and thousands of Galaxies etc for you to locate using this Star Map program.
