Once you have the planisphere and are ready to start digging in some of the constellations have a look at these two sites:
The Constellations Page - I have the field copy of the Constellations book and its a great reference right where you need it, at the telescope.
Astronomical Society of NZ - check out the constellations page and print the guides ON A B&W PRINTER. Their one mistake is that they use red on many of their maps which disappears under a red light at night.

Both brilliant reference sites for beginners and experienced observers.
