It really makes finding faint stuff easy (if you have a ALt/Az co-ord for what you want to see).
I use the free web site Tonights sky for a selection of Alt Az co-ords for selected items based on your input.
I use a Bunnings inclinometer for the Alt.
If you want to bring your dob to a dark site, check out the "Star Parties" forum and the thread for Mangrove Mountain Pony Club this weekend.

Directions in the sticky section.

Hope to see you.
Allan

PS: Thanks Again Richard
Hi Allan,

Good to see that they are being used. I think you and Peter (mozzie) are the only ones that are using them. There maybe others who choose not to let me know.

That Lightbridge circle will do just fine. I'll get it printed and laminated tomorrow.

Cheers
Hope it works out okay Glen, let us know.
