Reftactors aren't great for looking directly overhead unless I roll out a mat to lay on.....

If you have a PC or laptop , download a “free” copy of Stellarium
http://stellarium.org/
This virtual planetarium will show you where the majority celestial objects and satellites are in the night sky 24/7 , year after year for a decade
I couldn’t do visual or imaging without it , excellent Astro tool for beginner and advanced
Attached basic user guide for Stellarium
A question if I may , if you have no sky view ( only straight up ) where do you observe or image ?? Remote location ?? Dark site ?
Cheers
Martin
