Hi I am new to astronomy, I have recently purchased a orion dobsonian 4.5 reflector and hope to learn a lot from this forum, and the night sky.

Thanks! I recently saw Jupiter and it's moons yesterday. It was an amazing view. It was so bright, I couldn't make up its bands, but looking forward to observing it again. Thankfully I have my sky guide app that helps locate objects in the sky.

Take a look at Stellarium. It's one of the best star-chart/planetarium software-programs in (and out) of the world. You set it to your location and time, and it will show you what's up there. And so much more! And it's free. Won't cost you a dime:

Enjoy,

I think that is 3 from Wisconsin now.

Somehow I think one of the others is hibernating. Last post I read of theirs was snow and cold, then silence so hibernation seems likely.

Which bit of Wisconsin?

Hi Erik and welcome to SGL. Often recommended to those just starting out, is Stellarium, which has been dealt with and the ever popular book "Turn Left @ Orion, written with the small scope user in mind, enjoy your Astronomy
