Hi again Alga,
Best advice I've got if you want to learn the sky is to get Stellarium. Free excellent software which lets you set it up at your location so you can run in and out the door looking at the screen then the sky..... unless you've got a laptop. Google will find it. Has redscreen to help your night vision and lots of clever features to find anything. My advice is to set it up with 'Ocean' as the surface feature which effectively gives you the horizon from where ever you look. Pick a particular star/planet etc you want to find and work at it from there. Takes time but becomes a fascinating exercise trying to find what you KNOW is out there.
My home site is pretty light polluted but I'll have a run out into the country soon and see how the viewing improves.
Cheers and Clear skies
Brent
