Got a laptop ?
Do yourself a big favour and download Stellarium, it’s a free planetarium which provides a map of the night sky 24/7 in real time and can be set up to show all celestial objects including bright stars , star clusters , planets , moon , galaxies , emission nebula , planetary nebula and so on ....
You can roll time forward via its clock and see what’s coming up each night , night after night , month after month
After using it for a while it teaches you how the objects traverse across the night sky plus identify most common objects in the night sky. Leaves the old cardboard planetarium wheel behind.
I’ve attached a doc I put together last year on how to set up the basics in Stellarium
Hope the above answers your enquiry
Cheers
Martin
