Congratulations on your purchase it sounds like you are having a blast with it. I must also commend Alexander for his thoughtful and helpful posts in this forum - he never ceases to amaze me at how efficiently he gets in there and gives a helping hand to the newbies and always very friendly.
Jupiter is very much rising and setting with the Sun at the moment so you will not see it till a bit later in the year. I just stumbled over something in Stellarium, completely by mistake. Jupiter and Uranus will be within 1 degree of each other in the night sky on 26 September this year. Sorry to digress I was looking for when Jupiter returns to night time viewing for you
. Around the middle to end of August you will see Jupiter return to our night sky, of course in mid June you may see it early am. For Sydney on 28 June Jupiter will be at 22 degrees elevation at 02:30am.
If you go to
www.stellarium.org you can download this remarkable free software. Punch in your observing location/s lattitude and longtitude and away you go. Arm yourself with a good star atlas, I use Steve Quirk's Atlas of the Southern Night Sky, so you can see what is in each constellation and before you know it you will be up and running.
Enjoy!
