and do you have an Iphone? some pretty good astronomy aps are available to help you track down objects. ..makes planispheres obsolete IMHO
also if you can get hold of a book like Turn left at Orion-may be available in your library or they may be able to get it for you, to get an idea of targets
and answer the question now I have a scope, what am I going to do with it
best ever beginner's book , though Northern Hemisphere slanted (just turn the maps upside down)
PS if you cant wait then follow the good advice you have been provided by Chris and bring your scope to Linden so someone can help show you the ropes
