Rod,
If you haven’t already , download a free copy of Stellarium on your home PC or laptop
It’s literally your road map to the Universe , saves fumbling around with Star charts , I tossed them out years ago.
Has Ocular plug ins as well so you can check your field of view on a particular object with your scope and eye pieces
A must for beginner and advanced astronomer and Astrophotographer
I use Stellarium to set up my nights observing when I use my 12” Goto dob and to control and navigate my Astrophotography rigs 6” and 8” newts when imaging
It’s a time saver and teaches you the night sky easily and quickly due to the incredible layout and view
For advanced astronomers it has loads of scientific and technical data too
You can project forward and backward in time 7 days a week , 365 days a year
Cheers
Martin
