I'll definitely be needing a good field book so I might check that out and also buy myself a sky atlas.
In regards to Stellarium, I had this installed on my computer already. But I underestimated it's potential so I will try and use it more! It's a great program. That and the 'Sky Map' app.
Is there another resource though? Like the brightest objects to locate for each month? With Stellarium, I need to know what I'm looking for but I'm unsure as obviously catalogs vary at different parts and times of the world.
I have another question, in regards to space weather & cloud coverage.. where do I find information about this? I checked BOM's 'space weather' but I don't think it's what I'm looking for.. either that or I have no idea how to read their graphs and charts.
I might take a big drive today! But I don't know if it's a good idea to drive so far if when I get there I see no clear skies :\.
Thanks!!
