Thanks again erick.
I think the biggest fear of having the laptop outside as a reference guide will be killing my vision. I believe the best way to go for me I think is to start small, print out the star sheet, plan my starhop, and find that target!
Im so exited to findg M104, Im slightly disappointed of the moon as its directly north of where I'll be searching.
I'll have to save this one for a week when the moon goes away. Oh well, no big loss as it allows me to research further into navigating and plotting my targets in the meantime.
