Mario here are a couple of astro freeware links courtesy of earlier threads-

Using the search function on the toolbar above can solve most of our questions...

The eq mount is a great help in finding an objects declination and right ascension providing you have it well aligned to true north/south. On my dob i use an inclinometer mounted on the tube reading off 90 degrees to the zenith, and RA is much trickier without Argo Navis and the like.

Hope it all works out mate and have fun
