I’ll second what Carlton recommended, download Stellarium !!!
Stellarium is your road map to the universe 365 nights a year
I downloaded it and got to know how to use it months before I bought my first telescope ( a 10” dob ) 4 years ago, by the time I bought my dob I could star hop around the sky and find objects without to much frustration, and it can be frustrating if your pushing and nudging a manual dob around as a beginner
Stellarium taught me so much about the movement of celestial objects and when and where they appear in the night sky month after month
A valuable Astro tool in your toolbox
Cheers
Martin
