Hi Roc,

You might enjoy finding some smudges and different looking things and then working out what they are from the charts. Especially around Sagittarius which is where Jupiter is right now. The bulge of the Milky way there is where the centre of the galaxy is so there is a lot of stuff there in the way of nebulae and open and globular clusters. You could also have a look around neighbouring Scorpio. You will find some interesting things and it will help you to start learning some constellations so you can then find other things from your maps.

Good luck.
