Welcome. Hang around here long enough and you will not be a noob for long.

Have a look at 'Turn Left at Orion' which is a great book for learning what is up there with your telescope. It even has eyepeice views oriented the way you will see them through your Dob. I found it to be a brilliant companion to start exploring and I have only just started myself.

Welcome to SGL.  The orrery sounds interesting.  Do you have any pictures?

I do have a pic but it's not that great:

Looks very nice.  Orreries fascinate me.  I have a vague ambition to make my own from scratch one day, powered by a steam engine.

Unfortunately for me, my mum was cleaning one day and she said she gave it a dust and Saturn fell off

[JamesF]

Ah, so that's the real explanation for Saturn's low declination this year

James

[B4VVY]

Yep, that would be it!
