Another thing that you could consider is a set of printed sky charts. There are a lot of decent ones around, and you can have them at the scope (along with your red torch) while you're navigating the sky. I have the following ones:
1. Sky Atlas 2000.0 Field Edition (comes as a set of individual charts)
2. Herald Bobroff Astro Atlas (excellent - big and spiral bound)
3. The Edmund mag 6 star atlas (now given away - but an excellent beginners set of maps that only goes to Mag 6)
A printed star atlas and a red torch would be a great investment for you. A star atlas allows you to keep your dark adaption whilst navigating the sky from a map, and also means that you don't have to keep going back to the computer screen to compare the sky to a computer map (in the process ruining your dark adaption).
