I'm in no rush to learn. I have downloaded a few apps, bought a telrad, and will look into getting a planisphere, I'm fortunate to travel right past bintel almost daily so it's easy for me to pop in and grab what I need!

The meteor I saw was north to south, It was orange in colour, probably slightly more orange toward the end as it broke up. I guess as bright as Venus has been lately.

My Fiancé laughs at me everytime I get out of the car at night and my head points up (the one ABOVE my shoulders that is!!!!). I have seen a few meteors in the last few weeks and most were in the same direction.

I may have seen a couple of meteors zip through the eyepiece lense as well. I'm unsure if they were satellites, but couldn't see anything with bino's after so maybe I was lucky?
