Finding Stuff...
I used to point & click so to speak, but I never really knew what I was looking at (unless it was jupiter or saturn, those are pretty obvious). I'm a little peeved that I was slack and missed mars when it was up just after sun down (2 years ago).
My problem now is that I want to start looking at these other objects like M45 I think it is, but ... other than finding something I know like a planet (which all seem to be hanging around the sun atm?)
What is the normal way (especially for a beginner) to find these objects? I don't have any printed star maps, just SN5 (which can print them but I am lazy, but I'll do it if I need to!). I don't even have a compass. Any tips and tricks?
Thanks.
