Highly recommend Turn Left at Orion.
I used to struggle with star charts and other references (absolutely hate those planispheres). But I recently purchase the book and it has helped me immensely. The illustrations are real life and it makes so much of a difference than trying to follow one dot after another.
As previously mentioned, learn the constellations. Once you can spot the patterns quickly, finding other objects becomes pretty routine.
Clear skies! The weekend is looking pretty good even with the moon past midway.
