Hi mbaddah! I just purchased a Dob as well. While you wait for those who actually know what they're doing, to give you some good advice, try downloading and using Stellarium (google it). It's a blast, and (beginner to beginner) can give you an initial idea of what's where
What eye pieces did you get?
Good luck.
