Hi John, Welcome to Ice in Space. Very Cool! I can help you a little.. Most star charts are made so that you hold them up above your head rather than looking down on them. You will notice that they have north, south, east and west on them. You face them in the correct direction and you can then see where the stars are located. You need to have a correct star chart for the time of the year so the best place is to print one from the internet or out of a Current Mag like Sky and Telescope.
You can improve your focus with a very small amount of lubrication. Somthing like some vasaline or lipgloss works very well.
Hope you have lots of fun with you scope.
Mardy
