Hi Chris and welcome to the forum
To find the southern cross look for two of the brightest stars in the sky (that are close together) these are are known as the pointers and they point to the southern cross. The brightest stars you will see as soon as the sun goes down that are far apart will be Venus and Jupiter. Bino's are a good start and get yourself a planisphere for about 25 bux that shouls dee you right for a while. I hope this helps you.
