Learning the bright stars is a skill that will help you right through this hobby. I can recommend a couple of resources to help with this.
http://www.bintel.com.au/Accessories...oductview.aspx is an annual guide with good basic charts.
This book
http://www.bintel.com.au/Accessories...oductview.aspx is a guide to the bright stars and constellations that walks you through them and helps you locate them.
This
http://www.bintel.com.au/Accessories...oductview.aspx is a basic set of charts that include all the bright stars and many deep sky objects, most of which would be visible in your scope under a dark sky.
Collins
http://www.bintel.com.au/Accessories...oductview.aspx is a good basic reference for astronomy and the constellations.
