It sounds like you want to capture the body of the Milky Way, is that correct? You don't really need the Star Adventurer to do that. My nephew consistently does 30sec exposures just on a tripod.
So you know how to polar align the Star Adventurer, because you will need that at some stage. This thread may help http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...d.php?t=130533
As for actually finding stuff in the night sky, you could try Stellarium, or grab a star chart and head out into the garden.

Hi,
Was using M42 as an example. I could use the point & hope method but was hoping there would be something a bit more accurate. For the bulk of the milkway I'm pretty sure I can point it in the right direction but if I want to capture somethig a bit smaller my accuracy may not be that good.
Cheers
