Hi Phillip,

thanks for the response, it was very helpful .

is this an example of skymap you talking about ?

http://www.skymaps.com/skymaps/tesmn1312.pdf

If so, I'm totally lost about how to use it, not even able to get what it means .

Why the west side are on the right whilst the east side are on the left ?

Any idea where i can get an information to start using the map ?

I'm in Nunawading

Get yourself a good sky map. I find the maps in Sky and Telescope Australia mag to be very useful. The current issue December/January also has a guide to some excellent summer time binocular targets and information on how to find them.

Where in Melbourne are you? I'm in Camberwell.
