Thanks for the tips guys. Jeff the non planet items were great although I wasn't able to see orion due to twilight and light pollutioin and I was a little late but the clusters near the southern cross and jupiter were all great. I had to wait for some low level cloud to dissipate last night and given my location Jupiter wasn't visible until after midnight but it was worth it. Thanks for the tips.
I also took some pictures with my DSLR which were very handy in helping me find my targets since they were able to display objects that I juct couldnt see with the naked eye.
The stellarium software is also very handy in actually planning a viewing session, identifying targets and working out a plan on how to find them and it also displays an image of what you are actually looking for once you do find it.

Best advice I've recieved since entering the game.
Thanks
Ed
