Thanks, I will check out Stellarium and the latest AS&T!
Canopus, really? It is yellow like that? Well that is indeed cool!
I have the 2012 Astronomy almanac which has been quite useful thus far, tho I'm still learning how to read the charts etc!
I tried using Google Sky Map on my android phone, but it didn't seem to work properly, like where I was pointing it was showing the moon and there was definitely no moon there!
