In regard to learning the night sky quickly , download Stellarium ( free) on your laptop. It’s a fantastic planetarium which provides a live map of the night sky 365 nights a years at any time.
Stellarium can also be used to provide telescope control your mount using another software called EQMOD ( also free ) directly from your laptop nearby to the telescope mount thereby eliminating the Synscan handcontroller. It only works on Skywatcher branded EQ Goto mounts ( eg HEQ5 mount )
I recently wrote procedures for this telescope control using Stellarium and EQMOD
Cheers
