Hi Peter
I am also very new to stargazing. I also have the SkyWatcher 10' goto dob. I do use the app stellarium which ive found to be vital. Ive also found with the dob that you need to have it pretty much perfectly flat.....to help with this i purchased a concrete square 60cm x 60cm and placed it perfectly level on the area i view from. This solved all goto accuracy issues. And finally i also use the wifi module for the goto. It syncs to my phone withbthe synscan app. I have found this to be very very accurate and easy to use. Very easy look and press icons for noobs like myself. It also automatically detects location and altitude etc. Ive had my dob for only 2 months now ans seriously cannot fault it. And i do collimate it every time before use as it seems to go out a bit.
Cheers
