Wow, thanks guys, what great replies whilst i was resting my eyes !!!

I'm sure the main difficulty i'm having is being able to read the sky.
I have stellarium and its wonderful, but i'm trying to find my way through the sky by using the major constellations as reference points.
eg

Looking at pollux and going slightly up and to the left, but its all guess work, as my eyes cannot see the faint fuzzies through the finderscope.

What would be the best eyepiece to see these Galaxies ?

I know i seem to be bombarding this board which are total noob questions, but thats because im a total noob !!!

Thanks again

Stu
