Hey Criss..
I am relative newby to the game myself(about 11/2 years..I must sy when i started i ws overwhealmed by the amount of gear and gadgets out there,,and how much of it do you actually need..You have the most important thing..A decent scope and the desire..don't worry too much about all the other stuff..as you gain experiance you will find out what you need..But as the other members have said atlasses are a must..while books are great what really worked for me was computer planetarium programms.I would print up a few pages with the objects i was interested in seeing clearly marked out, bu the beuty of a good planetarium program is you can see the stars from a realistic point of view with the horizon on the screen..so you can look at the screen and compare it to the actual sky, some atlasses become confusing as to what angle to hold them to match it with the ever changing sky...here's a link to a good free programm...I'd start out with the planets..If ya can stay up a little later look for saturn...it is probably responsable for many a budding astronomer becoming addicted..the first time i saw saturn through a scope smaller then yours my knees buckled..No S#$T..enjoy..Heres the link.
