Thanks Niko and Malcolm for you replys, appricate your time. Another question following tonights obs.

I went outside, focused in on Jupiter, watched its moons orbit for a bit and scetched it's path, than moved on to trying to find some clusters, as I had my Dub out the back tonight I was unable to view M42 but did find a rather interesting very dim cluster as I was moving across the night sky, but to get to the question, I'm struggling navigating my night sky, what important things should I have to help me? I use my Iphone for a compass and my star chart and Stellarium to assist me but its still pretty difficult finding faint objects. If the rain doesnt come tomorrow I hope to view Orion.
