The best advice I  can think of is to use a program like Stellarium to find objects you want to see on a given night, make a note of them and what constellation they're in, and then draw out some star hopping routes so you can find the object in the eyepiece when you're finally in the field. It will take some practice as star hopping is a skill, and the telescope AND finder (on most dobs) will have their field flipped vertically and horizontally! I'd look at brighter objects like M81/82, M51, Leo Triplet etc at the moment, and soon you'll be looking for the ring nebula and such. Happy hunting!

Stellarium program is good! But it took me so long to install it! And now I am happy with it and it is very convenient and useful!HERE
