Try getting a planisphere and a set of 10x50 binos then out you go and start working on the sky, bit like learning the streets of a new city. Find the easiest constellation you can identify at present then start working your way out from there. Pretty soon you will have quite an area in your head at the macro scale and be ready to dive in with guides for a more micro study. This also gives you a feel for where things are in the sky at any time and how they move over the period of a year.

Keep looking up
